Born and raised in the mountain village of Gudel in Solukhumbu, Horizon Rai has built his career in the Himalayas from the ground up.
He began working in trekking as a porter, carrying loads and learning the realities of life on the trail firsthand. From there, he progressed to assistant guide and, with years of experience in the mountains, became one of our senior trekking guides. This journey has given Horizon a strong understanding of every aspect of a trek, from supporting the team behind the scenes to taking responsibility for leading and looking after our guests.
Over the years, Horizon has guided treks across different regions of Nepal and developed extensive practical knowledge of Himalayan trails, high-altitude trekking and working with people from around the world.
As part of his continued professional development, Horizon is currently undertaking training towards becoming an International Mountain Leader, further developing his skills in mountain leadership, safety and professional guiding.
Horizon is known for his calm nature, quiet confidence and genuine care for the people he guides. He enjoys being in the high Himalayas and takes pride in helping trekkers experience the mountains and communities of Nepal in a meaningful way.
