Sabin Mishra – Manager of TREKT Himalaya, Nepal Office
Sabin came on as manager of TREKT Himalaya in 2016. He is a great asset to our team. After completing college in Singapore, he returned to his home country of Nepal and worked as a construction foreman. However, the life of adventure bit him… And how could it not in the great Himalayan nation where adventure abounds! Sabin volunteered his time training himself for 6 months as a volunteer guide (yes, volunteering in the true sense) before he became the manager of TREKT Himalaya. His great work ethic and personality make him an excellent trekking manager. Sabin works hard to make sure our guests have everything for their trek organized. He goes the extra mile for everyone. He is almost like a tourism super-hero as he finds missing bags in the airport, finds transportation in the middle of nowhere for sick tourists, and manages to take people where no trekkers have gone before!
Binod comes from the region of Chitwan. He was part of our training program at Hardcore Nepal Adventures that specializes in recruiting and training guides from the dalit castes. Binod joined our company in 2012 and has been instrumental to the success of not only Hardcore Nepal, but also TREKT Himalaya’s Medical Treks. Like many Nepalis, he is a natural climber, and hardcore kayaker. If you see Binod on your trip, be sure to ask him about his village and home. He loves sharing cultural insights with our clients and is awesome at cooking the Daal Bhat!
for Trekt Himalaya – USA Office
Right after he completed his term with AmeriCorps NCCC, he got a job as a zip line adventure guide where he met Ramesh. Ramesh saw the good in his character and referred him to Sandra as one of the potential candidates for Sandra’s new assistant. Needless to say, he got the job! Today he focuses on the satisfaction of the clients and attends to their needs. He helps manages the workflow of the office and also works closely with our media relations specialist. We are glad to have him as a part of the team and know that he will excel in everything he does.

Audra is a beautiful, bright, and expressive young lady with great ambitions to change the world. She is from Venezuela and is currently pursuing an MBA in marketing. Luckily for us, she began to utilize her skill sets in our USA Trekt Himalaya office. She came to us looking for an internship and, among some other applicants, she knew how to shine. Audra manages our Public Relations and ensures that people are aware of the great opportunities offered by Trekt Himalaya. She strongly believes in the sense of identity and pride that volunteering offers to helpers and in the welcoming thanks that Nepalese are willing to give to everyone who helps them with real noble purposes. So, we are very happy to have her in our team! She knows how to get things done!
Endra Rai – He is our climbing guru. He actually encouraged us and helped us start our company in 2009. Endra is an Everest summiter and owner of Rafting Star Tour Company.
This is another great way to volunteer in Nepal, and still spend your time experiencing the epic sites and amazing culture. Since the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal, many schools have been damaged and classes have been disrupted, also many school supplies were lost. As a Teaching Trek Nepal volunteer, you can help us rebuild schools, lessons and children’s spirits in remote villages of Nepal.
Our veteran volunteer paramedic Steve Trood gets sponsorship from Kathmandu Outdoor Clothing and Gear, an outstanding New Zealand company that supports #TravelwithPurpose. Thanks Kathmandu! Steve will be on his second Medical Trek in autumn 2016. http://www.kathmandu.co.nz/
