About Meet Your Guides
You aren't just following a route; you are riding with pro athletes who know these trails better than anyone. Whether it is Anisha Gurung’s Himalayan expedition experience, Kevi’s mastery of North-East terrain, or Rakesh Rana’s technical workshops in Mukteshwar, you get hands-on coaching and safety support from people who live and breathe mountain biking.
When you join a WTH MTB Adventure, the person leading your ride is as much a mentor as they are a guide. We believe that the best way to learn is by riding alongside those who have raced and won at the national and international levels.
Our Crew
- Rakesh Rana: Our lead in Kumaon. Rakesh isn't just a racer; he is a builder who constructed our Mukteshwar base camp with his own hands. If you are looking to fix your cornering or body positioning, he is the one to ask during our technical workshops.
- Anisha Gurung: A national athlete from Nepal, Anisha brings incredible endurance and cross-country expertise to our Himalayan expeditions. She is all about pushing limits and handling the unique challenges of high-altitude biking.
- Kevilebo Zhotso: Representing the North-East, Kevi knows the trails of Nagaland like the back of his hand. He specializes in bringing a fresh, trail-focused perspective to our diverse cycling tours.
Why This Matters
Mountain biking is technical and demanding. On our tours, you are never just a number in a group. Having experts with First-Aid certification and a full-time mechanic accompanying our larger expeditions means you can focus on the trail rather than worrying about a mechanical failure or getting lost. We handle the backup vehicle, the electrolytes, and the logistics so you can focus on your ride, get a little muddy, and pick up tips from people who do this for a living. Whether you are prepping for a Manali-Leh ride or just want to get your basics right in a workshop, our team is there to ride with you, not just lead from the front.
