The Team

The guides I trek with.

KTM Travel Guide is me and a handful of licensed local guides I trust. They guide the way I do: small groups, the quiet trails, real villages, and real care for every trekker on the rope. When you walk with one of them, I am still behind the trip.

Trekking Guide
From Machha Khola, Gorkha

I am from Machha Khola in Gorkha, the village where the Manaslu Circuit begins, so the first day of your trek is a walk through my home. Twenty five years guiding, most regions of Nepal walked, and a pilgrimage into Tibet every year. I am a good cook, and I dance in the teahouse in the evening, which the trekkers enjoy more than they should.

Every trek is led by one of my licensed guides, matched to the route and your group. You always know who you are walking with before you go.

The way I work

Why trek with me.

I walk it first

These trails are home for me and the guides I work with. I know the quiet routes and the villages most groups walk straight past. I share them the way I would with a friend.

Small groups

Groups stay at two to six trekkers, small enough that nobody gets lost in the crowd. Behind the scenes, permits, logistics, altitude and safety are all handled, so you can just walk and take it in.

Honest and personal

You plan directly with me. The guide you message is the one on the mountain with you. That is how a trek should feel.

Still have questions?
