Roshan, great guide, great man - I had the pleasure of having Roshan as my guide during the Annapurna Mardi Himal trek, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was traveling alone, but thanks to him, I never felt lonely. From day one, Roshan proved to be professional, attentive, and always available, making the trek a safe and enjoyable adventure.
His experience and quick thinking were invaluable, especially when a snowstorm hit the ABC trail. Without hesitation, Roshan assessed the situation and immediately adjusted the itinerary to ensure my safety, avoiding unnecessary risks while still allowing me to fully enjoy the adventure. This showed just how skilled and reliable he is as a guide.
Beyond his trekking expertise, Roshan is also incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna, and Nepalese customs and traditions. Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating stories and insights, making the experience even more immersive and enriching.
Always smiling and great company, he made this trip truly special in every way. If you are looking for a competent, well-prepared, and safety-conscious guide, I highly recommend Roshan.
Dear Roshan, catch me if you can! This was the joke we shared throughout the trek, making the journey even more enjoyable.
Beyond the laughter, Roshan’s deep knowledge of the mountains and his incredible kindness made this adventure truly unforgettable.
Trust his expertise and his great humanity without hesitation, and your trip to Nepal will stay in your heart forever.
Thank you, Roshan!

ABC mit Roshan - a great experience! - Last fall I had the most incredible experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, and a huge part of that was thanks to the amazing guide, Roshan. From start to finish, he was the definition of professionalism — calm, knowledgeable, and always ensuring the safety.
The night before we were supposed to start, I felt sick, and he was incredibly flexible, rearranging everything without any stress. His patience and understanding made all the difference, allowing me to recover and still enjoy the trek fully. Throughout the journey, he went above and beyond, always offering extra effort to make sure I was comfortable, well-informed, and enjoying every moment.
I am far away from trekking experrt and he had an alternative option to adjust, in case i could not catch up. I always felt completely safe.
His deep knowledge of the region, local culture, and nature made the trek even more special. He was not just a guide but also a great companion along the way.
If you're considering trekking in Nepal, I can't recommend Roshan enough. He turned what could have been a stressful experience into an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for everything!

Trip of a lifetime with Roshan - We completed the Annapurna Circuit with Roshan in January and it was a magical experience, I can't recommend him enough. He is such a knowledgeable guide and his experience made our trip unforgettable. There were so many points along the trip where his local knowledge was advantageous, such as when teahouses and whole villages were closed (due to winter) and he would call ahead up the mountain to find a place for us ahead of time. We also encountered some small landslides and ice on the trail along the way that he was already aware of due to his local contacts and he was therefore able to adjust our route for safety. These are all things we wouldn't have been aware of if we did it alone or with a less experienced guide. If you are considering a trek in Nepal I can't recommend Roshan enough, he really made this experience the trip of a lifetime and I hope to be back in Nepal again to do a different trek with him.

Perfect hike - We had a perfect trip with Roshan.
From the first moment we asked him about the possible options he respondended very fast. Roshan advised us on what to bring and were to get it. When the hike started he was really helpfull. He picked some great places to stay en to eat. It showed that he is well known and respected in the area. When we got sick on the mountain he was really helpfull and made sure it got better. During the trip he spoke about nepali life, religion and nature. He also made a lot of pictures!
We certainly would recommend Roshan if you concider a trek trough the beautifull himalaya.
Greetings and many thanks,
Gerben

Unforgettable Adventure in the Himalayas - My trek through Poon Hill and Mardi Himal was an unforgettable adventure, and a large part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Roshan. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and fully immersed in the beauty of Nepal. His knowledge of the trails and local culture was impressive, adding so much depth to the experience. Roshan was always available to help with anything we needed, and his positive attitude kept our spirits high, even on challenging parts of the trek. I wholeheartedly recommend Roshan to anyone planning a trek in Nepal – he truly made our journey exceptional!

Unmatched Experience in the Annapurna Trek with Roshan Thapak - I can’t say enough about our incredible experience with Roshan as our tour guide in the Annapurna.
From the moment we met him in Pokhara, his passion and knowledge about the Annapurna region shone through. He was perfectly organized, ensuring that our 5-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp was not only seamless but also unforgettable.
Roshan took care of every detail, from the logistics to the best viewpoints, and shared fascinating insights about the local culture and environment. His friendly attitude and supportive nature made us feel at ease throughout the trek.
What impressed us the most was how he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Whether it was adjusting our itinerary for better experience, taking lots of photos or providing recommendations for local cuisine, Roshan's dedication was evident at every turn.
And the price? Absolutely fair for the exceptional service we received!
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring guide for your trekking adventure in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend Roshan Thapak (+977 982 4162792). Message him on WhatsApp and he will do the rest.
Thanks to him and his porter (Milan - the mountain goat), my partner and I created memories that will last a lifetime!
Ps - ask Roshan about the best Chowmein in the ABC. Attached photo with the best chef in Dovan :)
Thanks heaps Roshan!

Annapurna circuit trek - This is the second trek I have done in Nepal with Roshan, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is always happy to answer all your questions in detail and to elaborate if you need more information. Every accommodation he arranged for me was of the highest quality. He also kept in contact with me before the trek, making sure I knew where to go and what to bring. Once again, I can’t recommend him highly enough, and if I come to Nepal for a third time, I will certainly use him as my guide again! Thanks for a great trek!

Very caring, informative, photographer - We booked Roshan as our trekking guide for 10 days Annapurna Base Camp trek after we found him at Tripadvisor. We were a group of 12 friends from Berlin and UK. He was very caring and sensitive to all our needs for the trek. He offered us a great price in which he arranged all our required Trekking permits and papers before we arrived Pokhara. Also he arranged vehicles for our trekking pick-up and drop, arranged porters, all the lodges and restaurants for our foods and accommodation on the trek. He made it sure that we would reach our lunch place and overnight place on time before it gets late. For some friends who had quite slow walking pace, he had got assistant guides. So we never felt the feeling of fear about anything during the trek. He offered us daily fruits and tea breaks at regular intervals so as to maintain good energy level for our trek. He is a photographer too. He helped us with lots of photos and landscapes throughout the trek. He was able to provide us great explanations of all the questions we were curious about Nepal, Himalayas, trekking and Nepalese culture. Roshan is a very knowledgable man. He was also a trekking guide trainer. Lots of locals knew him very well, which made us feel safer. Every morning he checked if we were doing okay. Every evening he arranged a meeting and explained about the next day and asked us to raise any confusions we had. We really recommend Roshan as a great trekking guide in Pokhara, trekking guide of Annapurna Region. He deserves 5 star review from 12 of us.
We wish Roshan all the best in his trekking life.

Amazing Guide and reliable - Roshan is an amazing guide, we got in touch through trip advisor and chatted to agree the best solution for Us as we were moving a lot. Roshan was super helpful, he suggest few different hikes we choose from and we met in the day of the hike we had everything set by Roshan, car, restaurant and place where to sleep. Roshan is very knowledgeable of the Annapurna and was explaining to us a lot of people traditions and life. We stopped at the Australian Camp, it is nice but a bit noisy as Roshan already told us but that was the only trekking we could do with the time available. Next time I would really go for ponhill or somewhere higher. Roshan also was kind and brought his own professional refelx to take pictures since we weren't doing a very long trip. It was a very beautiful experience. I definitely recommend to get in Touch with Roshan to everyone.
