Puru Thapaliya

My name is Puru (Purushottam Thapaliya). I have specialized in mountain trekking and peak climbing since completing the Government Guide Training, offered by Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (KEEP and HRA). 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 2006.

I have been working as a trekking guide for 13 years, but my passion for the field dates back to my childhood. I was born and raised in the Langtang region, specifically in the mountainous district of Nuwakot, 35 km from Kathmandu. As a young boy, I would run up and down the mountains. Whether it was to get to school, help the family with farming, or play with my friends, I don’t remember 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 began doing what I love best—guiding. A few are returning to the mountains. Still fueling my passion for working with travelers, I have worked on various trekking routes and tours across Nepal and other Trans-Himalayan destinations, including Tibet, Bhutan, and India.

Then in 2006, I founded my own company, My Everest Trip. Using my skills with travelers and the mountains, I have created unique and eco-friendly trips that allow others to experience the magical powers that the Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and Manaslu Himalayas have always held for 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!
