The team

Four people in Nepal, one plan for your group

You write to Suman. Behind him, Resham books the country, Suraksha runs the days, and Sadikshya keeps the accounts straight. Small on purpose, so nothing falls between people.

Program planning · Your contact

Suman Chapai

Raised in a Sarangkot guesthouse, studied in the US.

From the first email to the flight home, Suman is the person you talk to. He grew up in his family’s guesthouse in Sarangkot and spent more than five years in the United States for his undergraduate and graduate studies. Having been a US college student himself, he knows what faculty and students expect, and helps put Nepal into context before and during the trip.

Partners across Nepal

Resham Gautam

The one who knows who to call, anywhere in the country.

Resham works with the hotels, drivers, guides and activity operators we book across Nepal. He agrees group rates, checks that what’s promised is what’s delivered, and gets every booking confirmed on a signed request list before your group lands.

Suraksha Chapai

On-site arrangements

Suraksha Chapai

Treks, travel and a guesthouse, run with an eye for detail.

Suraksha runs the program on the ground. She has managed treks, travel bookings and a guesthouse, and it shows: rooms ready when you arrive, vans at the door on time, and the packed lunches for trail days made by her own hand. She studies business in Pokhara.

Sadikshya Sharma

Clear numbers, and paperwork your finance office will like.
