I am Ajay, a seasoned mountain guide, group leader, and passionate traveler with an unwavering love for adventure. Travel has been more than just a profession—it's a way of life. Having spent over two-thirds of my existence exploring Nepal's breathtaking landscapes, I have traversed nearly every district on foot, by bicycle, and through hikes, from the remote western frontiers to the far eastern reaches. My journey into tourism was not just a career choice but a mission. Witnessing the unethical practices in Nepal’s tourism industry, I was determined to create something different—something built on integrity, responsibility, and authenticity. This vision led me to establish a platform where adventure meets ethical tourism. My goal is to showcase Nepal’s raw beauty while promoting responsible travel that respects nature, culture, and local communities. Over the years, I have built a thriving community of climbers, adventurers, and explorers from across the globe who share stories of the mountains and cherish the spirit of exploration. For me, every journey is more than just reaching a destination—it’s about the experience, the people, and the lessons learned along the way. Whether trekking through the Himalayas, cycling across rugged terrains, or leading groups on life-changing expeditions, I am always driven by the desire to inspire others to embrace the true essence of travel. Let’s explore, experience, and evolve—one adventure at a time!

    You turned my dream into reality by exploring the buddhiste temples ⛪️ and mountains. I truly appreciate the authenticity, generosity, and kindness you showed. Thank you, Sijal, for coordinating everything so perfectly. I can't wait to return next year 🙏 Natasha B.

    I had an incredible experience on the Poon Hill trek organized by this team. My guide, Bijay, was outstanding: he was always on time, attentive, spoke excellent English, and made the trek enjoyable. Bijay chose fantastic guest houses that were very comfortable, offering hot showers and stunning views of Annapurna South (first night in Ulleri) and Dhaulagiri (second night in Ghorepani). He consistently ensured I was comfortable and had everything I needed, showcasing his extensive experience. I highly recommend both the company and Bijay!
