About Me – Fr om the Roots of the Himalayas

Namaste! I’m Rajan (data is hidden), Founder and Managing Director of Local Trekking & Adventure Company in Nepal, and a professional trekking and tour guide with over 17 years of hands-on experience.

I was born in a small Himalayan village, wh ere walking mountain trails was simply part of everyday life. At 15, I came to Kathmandu in search of a career and found myself working as a porter on the famous Langtang Valley Trek. Carrying 35 kg over rugged trails for hours a day was not easy—but it sparked a lifelong passion. I learned English, became a government-licensed guide in 2009, and have since led countless treks and tours across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and India, including life-changing journeys like Everest Base Camp, Upper Mustang, Annapurna Circuit, and the sacred Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.

From humble beginnings to guiding on some of the world’s highest trails, I’ve experienced every route I offer—walking beside travelers, sharing campfires, and understanding exactly what they need for an unforgettable adventure. I come from the very roots of this business, and I carry that authenticity into every journey we create.

Through my company, my mission is to offer personalized, high-quality, and ethical Himalayan adventures—combining physical challenge with cultural depth—for travelers from all over the world. For me, the Himalayas aren’t just a destination—they’re my home, and I can’t wait to share them with you. More
