Keshika Rai
Himalayan Guide
Keshika Rai is a passionate and experienced trekking guide from Ilam district, nestled in the scenic hills near Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak. With over four years of guiding experience in the Himalayas, Keshika brings deep local knowledge, warm hospitality, and a love for storytelling to every trek.
Her true passion lies in connecting cultures—especially introducing international trekkers, and women in particular, to the rich traditions, resilience, and daily lives of Nepali women living and working in remote Himalayan villages.
