Request to call (Puru)
My name is Puru (Purushottam Thapaliya). Since completing the Government Guide Training from Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (KEEP and HRA), I have specialized in mountain trekking and peak climbing. With specific expertise in the Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan regions, I have been a trekking guide and tour operator in Nepal and across the Himalayas since 2012.
I have been working as a trekking guide for 13 years, but my passion dates back to my childhood. Born and raised in the Langtang region, the mountainous area of Nuwakot, from when I was a young boy, I would run up and down the mountains. Whether it was to get to school, help with farming, or play with my friends, I don’t remember a time when the mountains weren’t my home.
I began working in Nepal’s tourism industry as a porter, learning my talent and passion for working with visitors to our country. Years later, I completed my guide training and country. A few, I started doing what I love best—returning to the mountains. Still fueling my passion for working with travelers, I worked on various trekking routes and tours across Nepal and other Trans-Himalayan destinations, such as Tibet, Bhutan, and India.
Then, in 2006, I founded my own company, Hike To Everest. Using my skills with travelers and the mountains alike, I have created unique and eco-friendly trips to allow others to experience the magical powers that Everest and the Himalayas have always had over me. I am proud of the team I have crafted and the excellent reputation we have built together here in Kathmandu, and I can’t wait to meet the next adventurers who choose to join us!
