Episode 5 ~ Krish Thapa, ex-SAS mountain Leader
In episode 5, I talk to ex-SAS mountain leader, charity founder, and former Gurkha soldier, Krish Thapa about adventure philosophy.
Born in a village near AnnaPurna, Nepal and joining the British Army at a young age, Krish has led and summited expeditions to some of the highest and most challenging peaks in the world, notably: Everest, Dhaulagiri; Makalu; Manaslu and K2!
Founding his own guiding company, HST adventures, and the Sustainable Himalayan Foundation, a not-for-profit that supports and promotes sustainable mountain tourism, leads female empowerment initiatives and works to improve the lives of mountain communities. Krish now focuses his effort on helping veteran amputees get into mountaineering and has successfully led them to the summits of Kilimanjaro, Mera Peak, Mount Kenya and Mont Blanc – with Elbrus and Aconcagua already pencilled in for the not-to-distant future.
