9 years guiding · English, Nepali, Gurung, Hindi
Ajay Shrestha designed the company's yoga trek and retreat programs and has guided 38 departures in the Annapurna foothills since 2017. He holds TAAN guide registration G-1098, a 500-hour Yoga Alliance teaching certification completed in Rishikesh in 2019, and a Wilderness First Aid certificate renewed in 2025.
Ajay is from Ghandruk at 1,940 m in the Annapurna region, and his family still runs a lodge on the Poon Hill route. He wrote the wellness and yoga trek pages on this site and leads the Pokhara retreat program each spring and autumn. His yoga trek itineraries cap daily ascent at 600 m so that morning and evening practice sessions stay consistent for the whole group.
