Gautam Dhakal, the visionary founder and Director of Overland Trek Nepal, is a highly respected and experienced tourism entrepreneur, admired by everyone whose lives he has touched. With over 16 years of dedication to Nepal’s tourism industry, Mr. Gautam embarked on his entrepreneurial journey, founding Overland Trek Nepal in 2019 with a mission to offer exceptional trekking experiences to those exploring Nepal’s majestic Himalayas.
Mr. Gautam’s career in tourism began in 2004 as a porter. His determination and passion quickly propelled him forward, and by 2006, he had earned his credentials as a professional trekking guide. Growing up in the Dhading District, along the scenic routes of the Manaslu and Ganesh Himal regions, he was deeply connected to the hills and mountains from a young age. His firsthand experiences in Nepal's remote regions gave him insight into the daily struggles and resilience of local communities. This inspired him to create a company that would not only provide world-class trekking services but also give back by supporting remote communities through job opportunities and educational donations.
Driven by his vision, exceptional leadership, and operational skills, Mr. Gautam has successfully guided Overland Trek Nepal to become one of the most trusted trekking companies in Nepal. His authenticity and extensive industry knowledge have earned him widespread respect among trekking agencies in Nepal and internationally. Today, under his dedicated leadership, Overland Trek Nepal has proudly served clients from over 100 countries, consistently delivering top-quality trekking experiences with a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Mr. Gautam and his team continue to uphold this standard, ensuring every trekker’s journey in Nepal is memorable and transformative.
