Born in the lap of the Himalayas, Solukhumbu, Rahul Rai is connected with mountains- not just geographically, but spiritually. Though born in
a rural Himalayan village, he was raised in Kathmandu with parents who dedicated themselves to his siblings’ good education, even at the cost
of being apart from their beloved home.
In a chance encounter in 2015, Rahul changed his career from librarian to Operations Assistant at a trekking agency. The same year, he trekked
to Everest Base Camp and fell entirely in love with travelling. His passion grew, and so did his experience through his involvement with some
of the country’s most respected organisations, including Thamserku Trekking, Natraj Tours & Travels, Satguru Nepal, and Gurkha Encounters.
Over the years, he has worked across diverse roles, including Operations Manager, Travel Planner, Sales and Correspondence Manager, and
Marketing Head, which have strengthened his expertise in operations, guest handling, and high-end adventure hospitality.
A dedicated solo trekker and trained, licensed adventure guide, Rahul has firsthand experience exploring various high-altitude treks,
including the Everest and Annapurna Regions, Manang, and more. His experience also provides him with a deep understanding of emergency
evacuation protocols, field-based decision-making, and risk assessment. His journeys have shaped him into a leader who knows the challenges
and beauty of the Himalayas intimately.
Rahul’s friendly nature, years of industry experience, and field expertise make him an incredible travel planner who understands travellers'
needs and ensures a safe, reliable journey through meticulous planning.
At Zion treks, Rahul brings together mountain wisdom and modern tourism expertise to ensure every traveller feels safe, inspired, truly
welcomed, and has the well-deserved travel experience they seek.
“Travel should feel personal, meaningful, and made for you.”
