Peter Stewart – Director
ImageAn Australian that has found a natural fit with Asia having lived abroad since the mid 90’s exploring Asia for that next great adventure that HMB guests will also love to share. The driving force in getting Nepal’s mountain bike championships into the world media and establishing Kathmandu as one of the great hub’s of mountain biking & adventure to the wider region. “What better job could anyone have” would be his comment “gaining an intimate life experience across the Himalayas” Adventure, travel & sports are part of his DNA. With more than 20 years experience in Corporate Training Peter has worked with many multi-nationals across Asia running Team, Leadership, Communication, Change Management and other soft skills programs.

P.R. Bista – General Manager

A native Nepali who has experienced professional life abroad he is the man that keeps the cog’s turning and the squeaky wheel oiled of daily life in the hub of activity from head office.



Hari “H” – Head Mechanic & Guide.
ImageA gifted bike technician of almost unmatched parallel in Nepal who’s been in the game of caring for bikes and sorting out clients biking problems for more years than his looks reveal. With more than a decade of service at HMB Adventures “H” knows the trails and the intimate workings of any bikes that have ventured onto them.  With a fleet of some 50 bikes to maintain and lead a few tours H is the man that keeps our clients smiling with ever reliable equipment

Sanjib Basnet – Senior Guide
ImageHaving found a talent for the outdoors in the past 6 years there’s been holding Sanjib back in his development of skills as a gifted sports climber, mountain biker and a man to manage all situations especially if he has his i-pod handy with some cool tunes. Rafting, trekking and facilitating in our teambuilding corporate & youth programs contribute to his skills as a professional guide. Having travelled and worked abroad in adventure tourism he has a quiet and comfortable rapport with clients and a love of showing the best features the region has to offer…. especially in his ex-himalayan kingdom - Nepal

ImageShishir – Senior Guide
Another of our youthful guides & who is as familiar with the Himalaya’s as most people are with their own backyard! Small in stature there is a lot more to Shishir than size can determine with his knowledge & experience spanning Nepal, India, Bhutan and Tibet. Great with guests, his relaxed / fun approach and attention to the details of their vacation make him a popular choice of guide. Great mechanical skills and knowledge of local culture, he adds the value needed on any guided trip.

Amit Chowdhury

Holly Mattos - Guide

Having travelled the world and taken 1000's on tour, Holly's a natural at guiding and complements the outdoors on any trip with relaxed humor, travel insights, bike & mechanical skills and the magic of managing logistics - telling its own story of a professional attitude to being on tour and having a great time.

 



Mahadev – Assistant Mechanic / Guide
ImageNative to Nepal and the Terai region of south Nepal, Mahadev has been with HMB Adventures since 2005 and worked his way up in developing his skills under the guidance of ‘H’ and our senior guides. In a short time he has honed his mechanical skills and his ability to ride and race having achieved podium wins in the junior category of the Nepal championships. Offering great support within the HMB team he is one of our behind the scenes guys that results in successful tours.

Trekking Staff:
This is our 5-star trekking crew that create miracles in the most unlikely places i.e. the Tibetan Plateau and remote Himalayan landscapes….. some are not bad on a bike also.

Our Drivers & Logistics Crew.
Many tours require drivers and we rely on their great behind the wheel skills and approach to safety and guest comfort….. they may not speak a lot of English but the international language of a big smile, will say it all. The same goes for our many support or logistics crew working tirelessly and not just on-board for a free ride! They are normally too busy for photos or shy, so a snap shot of their vehicle and abilities to manage under sever conditions is a testament – way to go guys!!

Krishna – Store Manager.
ImageWith equipment on hand for treks, camping, biking and general supplies and all that other stuff which ends up in store rooms you need a good man (or women) to keep it in order and ready for the next trip out – Thanks Krishna!

Team Mascots / Donut & Sutria
ImageNo Team is complete without a mascot or two……… so our trusty dog “Donut”,
(our ever watchful Tibetan Mastiff) and the effervescent Sutria are key personalities to the HMB Adventures Team
