Not all journeys begin at the top. Some begin by carrying a heavy load, feeling the pain in their feet, but are still determined inside. It all started seventeen years ago, under the wide sky of Nepal’s mountain range, not as a guide or an entrepreneur but simply as a porter named Gokarna Khanal.
At that time, there was no company formed. No business plan existed. No office. Just an idea, to hike his nation’s trails, learn from every experience, and, in time, show others what his country held for him.
With every passing day, Gokarna hauled more than just bags and suitcases. He took the lessons of the trails, felt the spirit of the mountains, and hoped one day he could direct the team, not just follow.
A Pathway Made of People, Places, and Purpose
By the time he became a licensed trekking guide, Gokarna had already walked across some of Nepal’s toughest, most stunning routes. But for him, guiding was never just about showing the way. It was about sharing a world: the warmth of a mere local teahouse, the hush of a pine forest at sunrise, the simple smile of a villager offering tea.
In every village, every ridge, every moment, he found something worth protecting.
And that’s how Radiant Treks and Tours was born.
Not with marketing slogans, but with the belief that travel should be honest, personal, and respectful. That trekking could be more than tickling the peaks; it’s a conversation between cultures, a bridge between nature and people.
More Than a Trekking Company
Radiant Treks was founded with one goal: to give people the kind of adventure that stays with them forever. No cookie-cutter trips. No rush. Just well-crafted experiences that combine local wisdom, safety, sustainability, and a whole lot of heart.
Whether someone is dreaming of the raw beauty and remote silence of the Manaslu Circuit Trek or the timeless charm of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, where mountains, monasteries, and mustard fields blur into one magical experience.
…or hoping to see Everest from the sky—on a breathtaking Everest Helicopter Tour, sipping tea in front of the world’s tallest peak…
Radiant Treks makes it happen. With care, not just coordination.
From Porter to Mentor
For many years, Gokarna has led numerous treks in the Himalayas. Still, his work is remembered for more than the trails alone. He is a teacher now, serving as a mentor to many young guides, especially those starting with nothing but grit–he sees a vision of himself in them.
He teaches them how to read the weather, how to greet guests with a genuine smile, how to walk at someone else’s pace, and most importantly, how to honor the great mountains.
For him, guiding is not just a measly job. It’s a way of life.
What’s so different about The Radiant Treks?
In a country full of trekking options, Radiant Treks stands out proudly, all for good reason:
Because the team knows these trails like home. Gokarna and his guides aren’t just professionals—they’re locals who’ve lived these stories. Every turn, every trail, every village has a memory.
Because each adventure is personal. Trekkers aren’t just another name on a booking form, they’re individuals with dreams, fears, and goals. Radiant Treks designs the experience around them.
Because the company walks gently. Radiant Treks is committed to sustainable tourism, supporting local families, reducing waste, and treading lightly so Nepal stays beautiful for generations to come.
Because safety comes first. From altitude sickness to sudden weather changes, the team is trained, equipped, and always ready. A trekker’s well-being is the top priority.
Because connection matters. Whether it’s with the landscape or the people, every Radiant trek is designed to create meaningful moments, not just snapshots for social media.
Words of their Trekkers
It is common to hear, “Experiencing Radiant means finding yourself with a story to share.”
An Australian traveler shared:
Hiking by myself was something I was anxious about. Right after my first call with Gokarna, I felt much less stressed. I didn’t simply feel led—I knew I was understood. Not only did I see Nepal, I also felt it.
Another person who went with the Annapurna Circuit commented:
I have hiked in various nations, but none compared to this. Everything about the place—the speed, the people, the laughter, and the respect for the culture—seemed genuine to me.
Come, Walk with Them
Whether you’re starting out for the first time or returning for the fiftieth… whether you seek to climb a mountain or simply relax…
Every traveler will find Radiant Treks and Tours ready to support them.
They won’t claim it will be an easy journey. The mountains are a challenge to hike. But they tell you that it won’t be in vain—in ways nobody could ever predict.
Now, for those willing to say goodbye to daily schedules, city noise, and urgent meetings in favor of hiking trails and fresh air, this is the beginning.
With them.
With blue skies overhead, on old routes and accompanied by people familiar with them.
