Santosh Dhakal

“I will keep you laughing most of the way up. But the moment the weather turns, or somebody starts feeling the altitude, you meet the other side of me. A good trek needs both.”

Santosh Dhakal embodies enthusiasm and skill in guiding adventurers. Renowned for his fun-loving personality and exceptional humour, he keeps guests engaged throughout the trek with jokes and storytelling. He turns serious and careful when it comes to the guiding itself, prioritising safety and security.
