Namas-te

“Our soul recognises your soul.”

NAMAS was built from passion—and refined through a decade of real expeditions.

Born in Nepal. Built for climbers who value preparation, discretion, and world-class execution.

Bisesh grew up with the Himalaya in his bloodstream. After years in the UK, the 2015 Nepal earthquake called him home—back to roots, responsibility, and purpose.

NAMAS was created to offer something rare:
an expedition experience that is deeply human, meticulously run, and designed to take you beyond the commercial routes—into quieter mountains and remarkable places still waiting to be discovered.

“I built NAMAS for people who want the real mountain—done properly.”
— Bisesh, Founder
