Shiva Sedhai

With over 15 years of ample experience, Shiva Sedhai is perhaps the most experienced and widely respected trekking guide in our team. His vast understanding of Nepal’s challenging geography, combined with his serene temperament and extremely good guiding skills, has turned him into a favorite among trekkers from around the world.

Having himself been from a hill region of western Nepal, Shiva’s venture into the trekking world began with his modest love of trekking in the wild and among people of different backgrounds. What started as passion actually turned out to be a lifelong profession, and today he has successfully led hundreds of treks in the Himalayas—on mainstream trails such as Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Upper Mustang, Langtang-Gosaikunda, and even lesser-traveled trails that only a handful of people know.

Shiva is a guide, beyond a doubt—He’s a problem-solver, a storyteller, and cultural ambassador between Nepal and the world. His ability to manage logistics while keeping trekkers inspired, safe, and informed is what sets him apart. Several clients have returned to Nepal solely to trek with him again, often designating him as a “friend for life.”

He has certifications in high-altitude safety, first aid, and mountain rescue protocol, so each trek is undertaken with maximum care for safety. English-speaking and familiar with local languages, Shiva also has a wealth of cultural knowledge to share on each trek, so his treks are not only visual but educational.

For those looking for an experienced, perceptive guide and genuine hospitality, Shiva Sedhai is the best Nepal trekking has to offer. With him, every step will be part of an unforgettable experience at the heart of the Himalayas.
