Chhakmaya Gajurba

Namaste, I’m Chhak Maya Garbuja.

I was born and raised in Myagdi, in the heart of Nepal's Annapurna region, where mountain life, traditional culture, and the natural beauty of the Himalayas shaped who I am today. Growing up surrounded by forests, rivers, and Nepal's most spectacular peaks, I developed a lifelong love of the outdoors and eventually pursued a career in trekking. I have been working as a trekking guide since 2008 and have guided travelers from many different countries across Nepal.

While I have experience leading treks throughout the country, I feel most at home in the Annapurna and Manaslu regions. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of trekkers experience the mountains safely while discovering the rich cultures and traditions of local communities. As a female trekking guide, I take great pride in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for every traveler. I speak Nepali and English fluently and can also communicate in Korean and Hindi. 

My government trekking guide license, first aid and CPR training, mountain safety knowledge, and rock-climbing experience help me ensure that every journey is both safe and enjoyable. What I enjoy most about guiding is connecting with people from around the world, sharing stories from my homeland, and seeing the sense of accomplishment on my clients' faces when they reach their goals. For me, every trek is an opportunity to create meaningful experiences and unforgettable memories in the Himalayas.
