Rajan Gurung

Ghandruk Village, Annapurna

NMA-certified trekking guide Wilderness first-aid certified 300+ expeditions led Annapurna & Everest regions

Rajan grew up at 2,012m in Ghandruk, one of the villages on the Annapurna Base Camp route. He knows the trail the way most people know their street — every switchback, every teahouse family, every microclimate. With 300+ expeditions led and wilderness first-aid certification from the Nepal Mountaineering Association, he is the guide your safety depends on at altitude. His rule: “We descend if in doubt. The summit will still be there.” In 15 years he has never broken it.
