The idea for our trekking venture was born during a simple tea-making session over our father's fireplace in Serang, where we call home. Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of our surroundings and the desire to share our culture, traditions and sacred places with others, we envisioned Himalayan Tahr Treks as a way to create a brighter future for the Nubri-Tsum Valley.
Just as the Himalayan Tahr navigates its rugged terrain of Serang Valley with grace and strength, we strive to guide our trekkers through unforgett-able adventures that show-case the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the region
Our commitment to the authentic experiences and sustainable tourism practices not only connects people with the wonders of nature but also contributes to the well-being and prosperity of local communities.
Tenzing and Dawa, founders of Himalayan Tahr Treks, were born in the remote and sacred Himalayan valley of Nubri, which rests in the shadow of Mt. Manaslu, the 8th tallest mountain in the world.
Tenzing faced a difficult start to life when his mother passed away during childbirth, leading to his adoption and upbringing in the United States for survival. Meanwhile, Dawa, at the age of four, also underwent adoption and subsequently commenced schooling in Kathmandu.
At the age of 7, Tenzing's adoptive parents brought him back to reunite with his biological family, marking the first meeting between the two brothers as non-infants.
Since then, Tenzing has committed himself to bridging his two worlds, the United States and the remote Himalayas. He has led countless treks, fostering great connections between adventurers and our Himalayan home. Moreover, Tenzing has dedicated himself to fundraising initiatives, spearheading earthquake relief efforts, and championing philanthropic endeavors, all aimed at making a positive impact on the communities he holds dear.
