About me

I was born in Leh and I have worked on treks in Ladakh for eighteen years, first as a porter, then in the kitchen tent and for a long time as a guide. Most of the people I walked with arrived from sea level full of excitement and short of preparation. The ones who finished were usually not the strongest. They were the ones who had trained a little, packed light and gone up slowly.

Now I teach people to get ready before they arrive. The letters are written in Leh, in plain words, one stage at a time. What I sell are the things I wished every trekker had: a training plan, a packing list, a log for how you feel each day, a route planner and two video courses. I do not lead groups any more. I teach you to plan your own days well.
