Our handpicked team of skilled, experienced and passionate professionals are chosen because they are able to both teach the skills needed for a career in the outdoors, and the qualities of great outdoor leaders.

From the beginning it has been important to lift not only the Himalayas, with the world's highest mountains and epic rivers, as the ultimate classroom for adventure, but also the exceptional skills of Nepali mountaineers, river leaders and expedition teams.


"If there is one thing I know from 30 years in

adventure travel and expedition leadership, it's that

your team is everything."


From our mountaineering instructor, Lhakpa Rangdu Sherpa, with 16 climbs on Everest and several other 8000 m peaks, to N.C. Sherpa, Achut Pandey the rest of the mountain team with decades of experience and UIAA qualifications, they all embodying that deep connection to the mountains and the hard to pinpoint yet tangible Himalayan hospitality.

On the river you will meet our dedicated support team, like April Chepang, always ready with a smile and our instructors and expedition leaders like Jack Campion and Puskar Kadel, who will infect you with their love for the river and teach the dynamic skills of a raft guide.
