Rupchandra's story is one of adventure, perseverance, and giving back to the community. Over thirty years ago, after completing high school in his hometown, he set out to Kathmandu to pursue higher education and start his career. Little did he know, his journey would take him to the highest peaks of the Himalayas and lead him to become the founder of Himalayan Ecological Trekking.

Starting as a humble trekking porter, Rupchandra climbed the ranks to become a skilled Trekking Guide. In 1996, he decided to take his passion for trekking to the next level and started his own company in collaboration with one of his clients. Over the years, he furthered his business partnerships with esteemed companies such as Neue Wege Reisen, Shambala Tours and Meditation Germany, and Insight Reisen Zurich.

Rupchandra's love for travel has taken him across the globe, from all the trekking regions in Nepal and Tibet-China to various countries in Asia and Europe. As an accomplished mountain guide, he has led groups through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

But Rupchandra's success hasn't just been for his personal gain. He strongly believes in giving back to his community and has used a portion of his company's profits to establish educational institutions in rural areas of Dhading, Dolaka, and Sindhupalchowk. His dedication to sustainable tourism and community development has made a significant impact on the lives of many in Nepal.

Rupchandra's story is a testament to the power of following one's passions and giving back to the community. His company, Himalayan Ecological Trekking, continues to provide unforgettable experiences for travelers while also making a positive impact on the world around them.

Alexandra is a development professional (specialised on governance), committed to sustainable development in Nepal and particularly concerned about doing business in a social and environmental responsible way. In her experience, many regulations are in place that could help to protect the environment and to ensure fair salaries, working conditions and safety also for Nepali staff. But often regulations are poorly followed, and there is little oversight and quality assurance, and usually no sanctions for those who don’t follow. This is also the situation regarding the trekking business. Companies that don’t share the same level of corporate responsibility will always be able to undercut the market prices, making it very difficult for those companies that would like to operate in a fair and sustainable way, and following government rules, to compete in the open market. Through her involvement with Himalayan Ecological Trekking, Alexandra would like to contribute to explaining these issues and to raising awareness on these issues among interested travellers.

Alexandra supports Himalayan Ecological Trekking intermittently with advice and some communications support on a pro bono basis. Originally from Austria, since 2007 she has spent much of her time in Nepal. A passionate trekker, she tries to get out into the mountains whenever holidays allow.
