While Raj was great company to be travelling with in first place, he knew a lot of nice little paths off the beaten track, had always an interesting piece of information at hand and was a big help, finding my way around during the quiet monsoon season. I enjoyed our photo sessions with both our cameras in particular, and am very happy about all the little breaks in scenic spots that we took. Raj was also very flexible with places to stay and knew a lot of people around for specific information comfortable stays.
Thanks Raj!!

We spent 5 days together on the trail and he was always so patient, helpful and friendly. He knows many people along the way and all of the best teahouses to stay and eat. This was a very difficult trek for me and I know I couldn't have done it without him. His communication before the trip was great and he was always on time to meet and for pickup. I would recommend Raj for anyone who is traveling to Nepal.

Under the professional guidance and enthusiasm of Raj this was a super challenge and we felt safe and confident all the way. We will be back for more!

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a popular moderate trekking trail in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp is one of the best options for trekking because it offers a fascinating view of mountains arranged in a way that forms a loop. Also known as Annapurna Sanctuary trekking, it is the most celebrated trekking holiday package in Nepal. The trail includes Ghorepani, Poon Hill, and Ghandruk, offering diverse terrains, culture, and wildlife.
Mohare Trek is a community-based eco-trek in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri region. This off-the-beaten-path trek offers stunning mountain views, authentic village experiences, and the chance to stay in Rajkumar's home village of Tikot. Perfect for those seeking a quieter, more culturally immersive trekking experience.
The Annapurna I Base Camp Trek, also known as the North Annapurna Base Camp or Narchyang Trail, is a short but adventurous route to the north face of Annapurna I (8,091 m), the first 8,000-metre peak ever climbed. Starting from Narchyang near Tatopani in Myagdi district, the trail follows the Myagdi River through rhododendron forests, waterfalls and the remote Panchakunda (five sacred lakes) before reaching the base camp at 4,190 m. Unlike the crowded Annapurna Sanctuary route, this is a quiet camping trek with raw alpine scenery and very few other trekkers.
The Nar Phu Valley Trek is a restricted-area adventure into two hidden Tibetan-influenced valleys north of the Annapurna Circuit. Opened to foreign trekkers only in 2002, the route leaves the Marsyangdi Valley at Koto and enters a narrow gorge leading to Meta, Kyang and the medieval stone villages of Phu and Nar. The trail then crosses the Kang La (5,320 m) to Ngawal and Manang before continuing over Thorong La (5,416 m) to Muktinath. Expect ancient monasteries, mani walls, yak pastures, dramatic rock formations and some of the wildest scenery in Nepal, with very few other trekkers.
