Nepal Trekking Expedition – Three Sisters Trekking Company
Ocean Vertical’s Nepal trekking expeditions are co-led by our friends at 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking, based out of Pokhara Nepal. 3 Sisters Adventure Trekking are pioneers in training and employing female guides for treks across the Himalayas.
Since 1994, the three sisters, Lucky, Dicky and Nicky Chhetri have worked to empower women in Nepal through their company 3 Sister Adventure Trekking, an organisation for women, by women.
In Nepalese society, women generally receive less education than men and are expected to follow a traditional lifestyle. In the early 90’s no one would have dreamed of Nepalese women guiding trekking expeditions in Nepal. The three sisters were pioneers in their field and through their guide training programme have now empowered over 2,000 women from all over Nepal. Many have become trekking guides and others have gained the confidence to find employment elsewhere..
“Our goal is to encourage our fellow Nepali sisters to become self-supportive, independent, decision-making women.”
We are proud to work with this inspiring organisation and can’t wait for you to meet our trekking guides to hear their inspiring stories first hand.
