NAMAS MOTO - LIVE YOUR STORY

NAMASTE - " Our soul recognises your soul "  

Why NAMAS

Namas Adventure was born not just from a love for the mountains—but from a deeply personal calling.

For our founder, Bisesh, the mountains have always been more than just landscapes. They’ve been powerful mirrors—reflecting back the raw truth of who we are when stripped of comfort, control, and ego. They’ve challenged him, shaped him, and awakened something far beyond the summit: a sense of purpose, clarity, and transformation.

After spending years away from Nepal and living a comfortable life in the UK, it was the 2015 earthquake that became the turning point. It reminded him of his roots, his people, and the power of the Himalayan spirit. He returned home—not just to climb, but to build something meaningful.

“The mountains changed me. I wanted others to experience that shift. Not just reach a summit, but return stronger, more alive, and deeply connected to their own story. That’s why I built Namas.”
— Bisesh, Founder

Today, that belief lives at the heart of everything we do. Bisesh leads Namas with passion, precision, and a deep sense of care. He sees each itinerary as a work of art, designed not just for adventure—but for elevation. Every journey is thoughtfully crafted so that like-minded climbers can experience the same depth, challenge, and transformation that inspired him.
