Trekker stories
Highlights from 5-star TripAdvisor reviews of treks with Raju.
Raju has 35 years experience in guiding treks in Nepal and it truly shows. Transportation, accommodations, permits, route — if you're going with Raju, you don't have to spend a thought on it. He anticipates every need before you even know you have it.
Raju organised everything for us and his service and knowledge went above and beyond. Without him and our amazing porter Assok it would've been a much more difficult time but they made it 100% achievable, memorable and awesome. If I ever return to Nepal I know who to call!
Raju was very caring, and will make sure you are comfortable and safe at all times. During the hike he can tell a lot about Nepal, its customs, traditions, politics and surroundings. Dhanyabad!
