Our Team

My name is Puru (Purushottam Thapaliya). I have been a mountain trekking and peak-climbing specialist since completing the Government Guide Training from Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (KEEP and HRA). With specific expertise in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, I have been a trekking guide and tour operator in Nepal and across the Himalayas since 2006.

Why Trek with Purushottam Thapaliya?

I have worked as a trekking guide for 13 years, but my passion dates back to childhood. Born and raised in the Langtang region of Nuwakot, I would run up and down the mountains as a young boy. Whether it was to get to school, help with farming, or play with my friends, I don’t remember when the mountains weren’t my home.

I began my work in Nepal’s tourism industry as a porter, where I developed my talent and passion for working with visitors to our country. A few years later, I completed my guide training and 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, MyEverestTrip. By combining my expertise with travelers and the mountains, I’ve crafted unique, eco-friendly trips that let others experience the magical allure Everest and the Himalayas have always held for me. I am proud of the team I have built 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!
