I just completed the Mardi Himal trek as a solo 20-year-old traveller, and I’m so grateful I had Rakesh as my guide. From the very first day, he made me feel completely safe and comfortable. I was nervous about trekking alone, but he matched my slow pace without ever making me feel rushed or embarrassed. He was incredibly patient, always checking how I was feeling and encouraging me when the climb got tough.
Rakesh knew every viewpoint, every tea house, and exactly when to rest or push on. He shared stories, answered all my silly questions, and kept the whole experience calm and positive. Even when the weather changed or the path felt intimidating, I trusted him completely.
Thanks to Rakesh, what could have been stressful became one of the best experiences of my trip. Highly recommend him to anyone considering Mardi Himal!
