I am Purna Raj Rai, a senior trekking guide at Everest Holiday Pvt. Ltd. I was born in the heart of the mountains—Mahakulung Rural Municipality-03, Solukhumbu—where the Himalayas have always been my home. In 2002, I initiated my journey in the tourism industry by beginning as a porter. Through dedication, hard work, and a deep love for the trails, I progressed to become a professional trekking guide. Today, with over 20 years of experience, trekking is not just my profession; it is my lifelong passion.
My Journey & Achievements I have spent my life exploring the hidden corners of the Himalayas. My proudest achievements include:
The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT): Successfully completed this ultimate high-altitude traverse twice.
Mount Kailash: Guided over 21 pilgrimages to this sacred peak in Tibet, mastering cross-border logistics and high-altitude safety.
Where I Can Take You I have extensive experience guiding trekkers across all major and remote routes in Nepal, including:
Popular Regions: Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and Manaslu.
Remote Adventures: Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Dolpo, Mustang, and the Arun Valley.
High Passes: Technical crossings like Tashi Lapcha and Amphu Lapcha.
When you trek with me and Everest Holiday Pvt. Ltd., you get more than a guide; you get a companion who prioritizes your safety, shares local culture, and ensures your trip is a memory for a lifetime.
