I have known Dave Landman for a long time and organize several expedition to Himalayas. This time he visited to observe how Khumbu Climbing Center (KCC) operates its basic and advanced training programs for mountain climbers who will support guiding operations in high mountain regions, including Mt. Everest.
After the KCC ice climbing opening ceremony, trek to Gokyo, crossed the Cho La Pass, and then went on to climb Lobuche Peak 6119m.
It was a great pleasure to organizing his observation trip to KCC and trekking in Khumbu. We shared many stories about Nepal’s climbing industry and the global mountaineering community over dinner in Kathmandu. It was truly an honor to have him here and to receive his support to our ongoing projects.

After the Gen Z protest in Nepal, we Nepalis have come together in unity and returned to normalcy. Although unfortunate events did occur in our country, these were largely driven by political leaders themselves. On the positive side, the voice of the youth has grown stronger and more impactful than ever.

As of 13 September 2025, all domestic and international flights have resumed, and the travel and tourism industry is now returning to normal operations.

For example, our groups have already begun their adventures — including treks to Tsum Valley, the Manaslu Circuit, and a wildlife trip to Bardiya National Park for September and October 2025.
