Independent Trekking Guide in Pokhara

Roshan is a very professional and knowledgeable guide. He accompanied me on my trek for the second time, and I hope there will be more opportunities. I can only recommend all of his services!! Trust me, he is the best!

Roshan is an overall amazing guide, and great person. He organized and coordinated a helicopter evac for someone in our party after an injury. He acted as a medical liaison, and made sure he had everything needed until they left the country. Following this, he put together a completely new four day trek for me that started immediately after the evacuation was complete. Roshan is friendly and honest, knows A TON about the local culture, biology, geology and history, and is well known around the tea houses so knows what is good and bad for his clients. His communication is excellent, so you always know what is going on and what to expect. I would highly recommend Roshan for any guiding around Nepal, and look forward to my next trip with him.

It is impossible for me to fully express my gratitude and appreciation to Roshan for his guiding services, and for the care and humanity he showed when I slipped and severely injured my knee on the Nar Phu trek, but I will try. First, Roshan is the best outdoor guide I have ever worked with. He is deeply knowledgeable of the trekking areas, is an excellent communicator fluent in English, expertly understood the desires and preferences that my trekking partner and I had for our trip, and created an itinerary that was just right for our skill level and style of travel. Roshan is 100% trustworthy and offered, in my opinion, a quality of service that no other company could match, all at a very fair price. He speaks fluent, conversational English, and our trip was greatly enhanced by his openness and willingness to discuss anything we wanted to ask about Nepal: culture, politics, customs, personal life, land use and ownership, taxes, infrastructure projects, immigration, everything. We learned so much from him and when I think about all the memorable parts of this trip, many of the best moments were conversations with Roshan. The Nar Phu trek was absolutely gorgeous and we were having a perfect trip…until Day 6. When walking out of Nar Village, I slipped on a step and ruptured my patellar tendon, a severe knee injury which required a medical evacuation by helicopter and surgery. Roshan took care of me as if I was family. He arranged the helicopter, fed me meals in bed for 3 days while we waited at Nar Guest House for the weather to clear so the helicopter could fly, rode with me to the Hospital, translated and arranged logistics from the helicopter payment, ambulance, hospital admission and discharge, hospital payment, he picked up my prescription medications before we left, he guarded my wallet, cash, phone, passport, EVERYTHING that was most valuable to me while I went in for my MRI and I had absolutely no fear trusting him with my health and all those precious items. There are no words to express my gratitude to Roshan, not only for what he did, but how he did it. He was calm, helpful, professional, caring, and never impatient or annoyed. Roshan refused to leave me until I was at the airport security heading home on my medical repatriation flight and the security would not allow him to go any further. Then he twice tried to send his trekking pole to me to continue to support me in the airport in his absence, a very touching and selfless gesture that shows you the kind of man that he is. Like I said, this review cannot really express my gratitude. Roshan is a professional, capable, moral, ethical, wonderful human being and trekking guide. You could not choose a better person in Nepal to trust your vacation and your wellbeing to. Thank you for everything Roshan. I will return to finish the trek when my knee heals! -David

Roshan guided myself and 2 mates on the manaslu circuit trek. He was excellent. Super easy to communicate with and organise the trip; he took care of all the permits, transport, accom, food, some hiking equipment & more. He seems to be one of the best guides out there and we could quickly see that Roshan was one of the most knowledgeable & professional, yet casual and fun to be around. Thanks Roshan for the trip of a lifetime.

I completed the Manaslu circuit trek with Roshan and two other friends. He was very proactive in organising required our trekking permits and providing assistance with e-visa applications. The only thing we had to sort was our first night of accommodation. Everything was well handled by Roshan. Very knowledgeable guide on the trek. Knew the best spots to visit given the respective weather conditions. English was great. A porter was provided who was good too. Didn’t feel unsafe or if we were being ripped off. He was very honest and fair with us. Would recommend Roshan as a guide.

We had four days with Roshan doing the Mardi Himal trek. He was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and Nepalese culture. Also is very experienced on this trek so had lots of connections and knew which tea houses were the best. He listened to what we wanted to do and was happy to adapt the schedule to make sure we got the most out of the trip! This meant we were able to get to Mardi Himal Base Camp and spend some time walking through the villages from Siding to Lumre.

My husband and I spent 5 days in the company of Rochain to get to Annapurna base camp. It was an unforgettable experience. He supported us all the way, he was very attentive to our needs. Super recommended guide very kind and helpful!!

We had an unforgettable experience trekking on the Mardi Himal trail thanks to Roshan. From the very beginning, he was patient and professional. He explained the route clearly, checked our pace, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe. The weather was challenging at times, but he stayed calm and supportive throughout the journey. What impressed us most was his responsibility and care. When we were tired and facing unexpected difficulties, he handled everything with experience and confidence. He truly prioritizes his clients’ safety and well-being. Roshan is hardworking, honest, and genuinely passionate about what he does. If you are planning to trek in Nepal, especially Mardi Himal, we highly recommend choosing him as your guide. You will be in good hands. Thank you, Roshan, for guiding us safely and making this journey meaningful and memorable!

We had an amazing time trekking the ABC with Rosham! My husband and I spent 10 days trekking with him, and from the moment he picked us up at the airport until the very last day, he was attentive at all times. He always made sure we were comfortable and well-rested, and we truly felt at ease with him throughout the entire trek. Rosham is extremely knowledgeable about the mountains and, on top of that, a genuinely kind and friendly person. We would absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services .again. Thank you, Rosham, for such a wonderful experience! Andres and Elena from Spain .

We did my Wife and I the ABC route with Rosham, the experience was amazing, at all times he was very attentive and involved with our trip, he picked us up at the airport and has always been concerned about us, adapted very well to our pace and always resolving our doubts. The accommodations along the route were amazing and the food delicious. I would certainly go back to do routes with him as in the end more than a guide was a friend. I recommend doing the route + Poon Hill as your sunrise is in sleep.
