Who We Are

I am Kiran Tamang, founder of Darchog Adventures, and a trekking and climbing guide based in Kathmandu, Nepal.

My journey into the outdoors began behind a camera. Photography and filmmaking first led me into the mountains, where I documented stories, travelled alongside people from around the world, and witnessed the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. Over time, those experiences became something more. The mountains were no longer just a place to capture—they became a place to belong.

Guiding was a natural progression. What began as an independent trekking guide has grown into Darchog Adventures, built on the belief that every journey should be approached with care, respect, and genuine human connection. While I still find joy in photography and filmmaking, my heart belongs to the trails, the people I meet, and the landscapes that continue to teach me humility.

The mountains have a way of reminding us how small we are, yet how deeply connected we can feel to the world around us. They ask for patience, reward curiosity, and leave us with lessons that are difficult to put into words.

It is a privilege to share these places that have shaped my own life. Thank you for placing your trust in me and my team. We look forward to walking the trail with you and helping you discover Nepal with the same respect, wonder, and appreciation that continues to inspire us every day.

Our Story

Darchog Adventures was founded on a simple belief that the people you travel with matter just as much as the places you visit.

Our story began in the mountains, where years of guiding taught us that the most meaningful journeys are not defined by distance or altitude, but by the people who share the trail. Every trek is a collection of conversations, quiet moments, shared challenges, and memories that continue long after the journey has ended.

We have never believed that a great experience should be measured by its price. Instead, we believe it is shaped by the care behind every decision, the experience of the people leading the way, and the warmth with which every guest is welcomed. We choose to invest in our guides, support our local communities, and uphold the hospitality that has long been part of our culture, because we know these are the things that leave a lasting impression.

These values continue to guide everything we do. It is a privilege to share the places we call home and to welcome every traveller not simply as a guest, but as someone with whom we have the opportunity to share a small part of our story.
