Our Guide Team
At rapidrunner Expeditions we know that our staff are what makes us different. We only employ fully qualified Nepali guides so that we can be sure that your trip will be professionally led. We sometimes host visiting foreign guides but they are not paid and always go on our trips as ‘extras’ so they don’t take away jobs from Nepali guides.
