He is a trained trekking guide who has extensive knowledge of the mountains throughout Nepal, especially the off the beaten trail routes where few people goe, but Krishna’s true talents lie in his cooking.

Krishna grew up in Bhojpur in eastern Nepal but relocated to Kathmandu more than 20 years ago, where he lives with his wife, son and daughter.

He is a trained trekking guide who has extensive knowledge of the mountains throughout Nepal, especially the off the beaten trail routes where few people goe, but Krishna’s true talents lie in his cooking.  He and his team are capable of creating delicacies that you would expect to find served up in a restaurant on just a camp stove and after a long days trekking, he is definitely the man you want preparing your meals.

Alongside his cooking abilities, Krishna is a fantastic organiser, knowing exactly how much food is required to keep everyone fed and happy no matter how many people, long and rugged the trek – never running out of food, never buying excessive amounts.  He has been working with Himalayan Quests for the last 10 years as our senior cook and camping trek organiser and is an integral member of the team.
