Raju was an amazing guide for us. Very experimented, always colaborated with us on creating the itinerary, very friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time on ABC trek and felt safe and welcomed. I would really recommend him 100%. Our porter Goddis was also amazing and very flexible and we really aplreciated them both a lot! Thank you! ❤️

I hiked the Khopra Ridge Trek with Raju mid-April. I was alone with Raju for 6 days. Raju organized everything perfectly and adapted to every single one of my wishes. When I was tired and slowed down a bit, Raju always made sure to stay a few meters in front. When I wanted to go fast and decided to walk two days in a single one, Raju ensured we made it and showed me some shortcuts. He always secured accommodation and transportation and I never had to handle any of the logistics, only make the decisions, which he allowed me to make even at the very last minute. Raju was also a great conversation partner during days of hiking: I learned a lot about Nepalese culture and politics as I was interested in these topics; and when I wanted to focus on the path and stayed silent for hours, Raju always let me enjoy the peaceful mountains. I had an amazing experience in the Nepalese mountains and am thankful to Raju for having made it as good as it was!

I had an amazing day trip hiking with Raju. We started at Kande and hiked to Australian Camp onto Pothana, Damphus and ending in Phedi. As a solo female 'older' traveller I felt very safe with the pace that Raju set and he was very patient and kind. I especially enjoyed the knowledge that Raju shared about the local areas we hiked through and also our conversations. I really enjoyed the villages that we passed through hiking down to Phedi. Raju was the best guide and I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to have him take me on a longer trek. Thank you Raju for the perfect day in Nepal.

The best guide in Pokhara! Raju Dai was amazing. We trekked to Annapurna base camp with him, and took an alternate route on the way back to see as many areas and villages as possible. Raju was professional, knowledgable, and extremely good company with amazing conversation and information about the areas we passed through. One of the best experiences of our lives and certainly there was no better guide to do it with than Raju Dai.

The best guide we could have hoped for. Raj was capable, professional, experienced and extremely good company. We walked with him for 6 days to Mardi Himal. One of the best experiences of our lives and we couldn't have found a better person to do it with! Thank you Raj

Raju was a fantastic guide. Kind, professional, had lots of experience and knew the area so well. Raj has 30 years experience trekking through the Annapurna and beyond, he was a wealth of knowledge! We could not have found a better guide. Thank you Raj.

Raju was an excellent and friendly guide for our first time trekking at altitude. He was incredibly helpful in choosing which teahouses we stayed at, in talking with any locals, and in his knowledge of the trek itself. He was also a great chat and gave us lots of local knowledge and historical info about the area! I could not recommend Raju more for your next trip. धन्यवाद Raju!

Raju was a great guide who really aided our first time alpine trekking. He was super friendly and also had great knowledge of not only the trek but flora and fauna. Me and my friends had a great time doing the Mardi Himal trek and would definitely recommend to others !

Raju was a brilliant guide. We did the trek to Poon Hill with pretty much no previous trekking experience. Raju was an excellent guide, struck the right balance between motivating us to get to the top and recognising when we needed a break! Raju is a very professional guide, we really enjoyed our trip

The best tour and the best guide I ever had! Very friends and helpful all the way. I really enjoyed my solo trip and we even did an extra part of the hike as I really wanted to get to the extra mountain top. I definitely will do it again! Highly recommend 🤞✌️

Myself and my partner trekked with Raju for 10 days starting from Pokhara, we caught the bus together to begin trekking in Ulleri, visiting Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Base Camp, and ending in Lumri where we got a bus back together to Pokhara. Myself and my partner had a planned itinerary of where we wanted to go, the distance we wanted to cover each day and the village we wanted to stay for the night. Raju was very welcoming of the plan but was also very flexible in making changes as we required. The trekking with Raju was a delight, Raju is an experienced guide with over 30 years of experience in the mountains. The experience shows, as everything was well organised, we stayed in tea houses which had nice food and gave us extra blankets which was needed in December. Raju is not only well organised but also an amazing, intelligent and funny person; he taught us lots about Nepalese culture, wildlife and world issues affecting Nepal. We had lots of laughs and jokes and Raju was also very interested to learn about ourselves. Raju picked us up from our hostel at around 7:15am, he took us to the bus station where we got the bus to Ulleri. We began trekking for 10 days to Annapurna Base Camp and then to Mardi Himal Base Camp. Each day we would speak to Raju about the route and whether we could go further or less than planned depending on how we are feeling. We are already planning on returning to Nepal to go trekking with Raju again, what a guy!

Raju is an outstanding guide and made our trip absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was so flexible with what we wanted our itinerary to be and made us feel entirely safe the whole trek. We did ABC with Mardi Himal Base camp and many people thought our itinerary was impossible, but Raju knew we could achieve what we set out! Raju is also extremely personable and kind, he made us feel so comfortable and we had lots of interesting conversations across our 10 days together. I will miss seeing Raju but already planning our next trip with him. 100% recommend his expert guiding services!!

Raju just may be the BEST guide in all of Annapurna 🏔️ We were lucky enough to have secured his services for a 15 day trek round Annapurna Circuit and couldn’t have asked for a better host. Raju is kind, caring, infectiously happy and extremely attentive making sure we were well looked after and safe the entire journey. His endless supply of mountain knowledge and local facts were invaluable and can’t be found in any book making for an unforgettable experience high up in the Nepali Alps. (Plus he also knows all the best places to eat and stay along the way 😉). Highly Recommend - 5 🌟 Happy Travels ✌🏼

We had such an amazing trip with Raju. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We trekked to Australian base camp and then to Dhampus. We stayed in lovely accommodation and Raju could not have been more helpful. We trekked some more the following day and Raju gave us so much information about the local area. He was so kind and patient. We really could not recommend Raju enough. Thank you so much for an amazing 2 days Raju. It was so nice to meet you.

My partner and I did the Annapurna Circuit over 15 days with Raju after a recommendation from friends who have trekked with Raju previously. Raju is very knowledgeable about the Annapurna region and shared with us the culture and history of Nepal. He knows all the mountain names, all the best towns for lunch and overnight stays and always got us good rooms throughout the trek. He is extremely attentive and happy. We always felt safe and supported with Raju. Thank you 😊

We are glad to have Raju to help arrange a good team for us. The guide and porters are all good with fluent English speaking skill that facilitates good communication. Every arrangement during the journey is perfect. I would like to give a special appreciation to the porters Surya and Prince, who are kind that always consider our needs and offer helping hands. They are really outstanding. Without this awesome team arranged by Raju, we would not have such a wonderful memory and finish the ABC Trekking successfully.
