Raj Rawat – Founder & CEO
“From corporate life to mountain heights — building journeys, not just treks.”
Founder & CEO

Raj Rawat

Mr. Raj Rawat is the Founder, Owner, and CEO of MakemyHikes, a passionate entrepreneur and mountain expert dedicated to creating safe, affordable, and unforgettable trekking experiences in the Himalayan region.

His journey is a true example of following passion with courage and determination.

Raj Rawat initially pursued Civil Engineering, where he developed a strong foundation in structure, planning, and discipline. After completing his studies, he worked for one year in a corporate company, gaining professional experience and understanding of the corporate world.

However, despite a stable career path, his heart always belonged to the mountains.

Driven by his deep love for nature and adventure, he made a bold decision to resign from his corporate job and follow his true passion — exploring the mountains and building something meaningful for fellow adventure lovers.

This decision marked the beginning of an inspiring journey.

Since 2018, Raj Rawat has been actively involved in trekking, exploration, and organizing adventure experiences across the Himalayas. What started as a personal passion soon transformed into a mission — to make trekking safe, easy, and affordable for everyone.

Raj Rawat is also a professional skier, which adds a technical edge to his mountain expertise. His ability to navigate snow-covered terrains and manage extreme conditions makes him a highly skilled and reliable trek leader.

As a mountain expert and tour operator, he has organized numerous treks across the Himalayan region, focusing on safety, proper guidance, and delivering authentic experiences rather than just commercial trips.

One of his most remarkable achievements is the exploration and reccy of the Chanshal Pass trek route. Through his dedication and hard work, he successfully identified and developed a safe and breathtaking trail passing through untouched and beautiful meadows, making it accessible for trekkers.

This contribution reflects his commitment to discovering new paths and enhancing the trekking experience for adventure seekers.

Apart from his journey in the mountains, Raj Rawat is also known for his entrepreneurial mindset. He has played a significant role in establishing multiple brands, showcasing his ability to turn ideas into successful ventures.

Under his leadership, MakemyHikes has grown into a trusted name for trekking and travel experiences, known for its reliability, safety standards, and customer satisfaction.

His vision is clear —
to connect people with nature, promote responsible tourism, and make mountain adventures accessible to everyone.

Raj believes that trekking is not just about reaching a destination, but about the journey, the challenges, the peace of nature, and the memories created along the way.

His leadership style is grounded, practical, and experience-driven. He personally ensures that every trek meets high standards of safety and quality.

With a strong focus on client trust, transparency, and continuous improvement, he continues to push boundaries and expand the horizons of MakemyHikes.

Today, Raj Rawat stands as an inspiration for many young individuals who wish to follow their passion and create something meaningful.
