Our story

Rooted in the mountains, built on trust

Two founders from the Khumbu who still plan every journey themselves.

Since 2007

Two Sherpas from the Khumbu

Beyul Adventure Pvt. Ltd. was founded in 2007 by Ang Jangbu Sherpa and Pasang Tshering Sherpa. Both grew up in the Khumbu and had already spent years in Himalayan tourism. They started Beyul to run treks and expeditions the way they believed they should be run: carefully, honestly, and with people they knew.

Today we provide full logistics and professional guiding across Nepal and Tibet. Our team in Kathmandu arranges the permits, flights, lodges, camps and crews, and we work to protect the nature and culture of the valleys we walk through.

The people who will plan your journey

Two founders who have walked these valleys all their lives.

Pasang and Jangbu have run Beyul Adventure side by side since they founded it. When you write to us, one of them reads your message, designs your route and stays in touch until you are home.

That personal attention is what partners like International Mountain Guides and Spirit of Adventure have trusted for years.

Ang Jangbu Sherpa

Co-founder · Director · Everest summiteer

Jangbu grew up in Phortse in the Khumbu and studied at the Hillary school there. He trained under Colonel Jimmy Roberts, founder of Nepal's first trekking company, and has led dozens of treks and expeditions across Nepal and Tibet.

Off the clock

After a lifetime in the mountains, Jangbu still heads into them for the sheer joy of it. He's a keen mountain biker and a trekker at heart, happiest on two wheels on a rough mountain trail or on foot with a pack on his back, finding a path he hasn't walked yet.

Pasang Tshering Sherpa

Co-founder · Director · From the Khumbu

Pasang grew up in the Khumbu, beneath Everest, and had already spent more than a decade in Himalayan tourism when he co-founded Beyul Adventure. Together with Jangbu, he has built a company that international operators trust with their own clients.

Off the clock

Pasang is a traveler at heart. He loves exploring new places and tells their stories through his vlogs and videography, so there's usually a camera in his hand. Yoga keeps him grounded, and a bike ride is his favorite way to clear his head.

Where our name comes from · sbas yul · "bay-yool"

A beyul is a sacred valley, hidden until the traveler is ready

Buddhists on both sides of the Himalaya believe in beyul: hidden valleys concealed and blessed by Padmasambhava, the 8th-century master who helped establish Buddhism in Tibet and the Himalaya, as places of refuge in difficult times.

The Khumbu, beneath Everest, is one of them. It is where our founders were born, and where many of our journeys begin.
