A journey through the Himalayas is only as good as the person leading the way. At Adventure Land Nepal, we don’t just hire staff; we build a family of experts. Our team is a diverse blend of veteran storytellers, mountain legends, and nature enthusiasts, all united by a single passion: sharing the true essence of Nepal with you.
The Visionary Behind the Journey
Mr. Chij Jung Gurung – Founder & Managing Director
Every great adventure begins with a vision, and for Adventure Land Nepal, that vision belongs to our founder, Chij Jung Gurung.
With a career spanning over 22 years in the heart of the Himalayas, Chij Gurung didn’t start his journey in an office; he started it on the rugged trails of the Everest and Annapurna regions. Having personally led hundreds of treks and cultural tours, he transitioned from a field expert to a company leader with one goal in mind: to provide a higher standard of personalized, ethical, and authentic travel.
As the Main Company Handler, Chij Jung Gurung is involved in every detail of your trip. He doesn’t just oversee the business; he meticulously designs itineraries, hand-picks every guide, and ensures that the “Guest is God” philosophy is practiced at every level of the organization.
“For me, Adventure Land Nepal is not just a travel agency; it is a bridge between my home and the world. I am personally committed to ensuring that every traveler who trusts us leaves Nepal with a heart full of memories and a new perspective on our culture.” —Chij Jung Gurung
Our Cultural Storytellers (Tour Guides)
For those exploring the ancient stone alleys of Kathmandu or the medieval squares of Bhaktapur, our Tour Guides act as your personal historians. They aren’t just reading from a guidebook; they are locals who grew up in the shadow of these monuments. With a deep understanding of Newari architecture, Buddhist philosophy, and Hindu traditions, they bring the “living museum” of Nepal to life. Whether they are explaining the intricate woodcarvings of a temple or introducing you to a local artisan, our cultural guides ensure that every step you take is a step back in time.
Our Mountain Guardians (Trekking Guides)
In the high altitudes of the Everest or Annapurna regions, your safety and success depend on your guide. Our Trekking Guides are seasoned explorers who have crossed the highest passes in the world hundreds of times. But their expertise goes beyond navigation. They are masters of pacing, experts in high-altitude physiology (AMS), and champions of “Himalayan Hospitality.” They are the ones who ensure your tea is hot, your pace is steady, and your health is monitored every single day. To them, the mountains are home, and they take pride in bringing you into that world safely and respectfully.
Our Nature Specialists (Naturalists)
For the wilder side of your journey—whether it’s the jungles of Chitwan or the bird-rich forests of the lower Himalayas—our Naturalists are your eyes and ears. These experts possess an incredible ability to spot the “invisible” wildlife, from the Great One-horned Rhino to the elusive Bengal Tiger. With a deep knowledge of Nepal’s unique biodiversity, they don’t just show you animals; they explain the delicate ecosystems of our national parks. Our naturalists turn a simple jungle walk into a masterclass in wildlife conservation and tropical ecology.
The Heart of the Office
Behind every successful expedition is our dedicated office crew. These are the logistics masters who handle the complex puzzle of domestic flights, heritage permits, and hotel bookings. They are the first voices you hear when you inquire and the friendly faces that greet you at the airport. Working tirelessly behind the scenes, they ensure that from the moment you land in Kathmandu to your final departure, your experience is seamless, stress-free, and full of smiles.
