Namaste, I'm Samrat Adhikari
Your guide to the majestic Manaslu Circuit and beyond
From Himalayan Roots to Expert Guide
Born and raised in the beautiful Himalayan region of Nepal, I developed a deep connection with the mountains from an early age. The majestic peaks, serene valleys, and rich cultural tapestry of my homeland have shaped my identity and passion.
My journey as a trekking guide began over 10 years ago when I decided to transform my love for the mountains into a profession. Starting with local treks, I gradually expanded my expertise to the challenging and breathtaking Manaslu Circuit, which has become my specialization.
Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to continuous learning - studying the region's ecology, history, and cultural heritage while perfecting my skills in navigation, safety protocols, and emergency response. I'm certified by the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management (NATHM) and hold advanced wilderness first aid certification.
Today, I take pride in being one of the most knowledgeable guides for the Manaslu Circuit, having successfully led over 120 treks and created lasting memories with trekkers from around the world.
