History

The co-founder of this organization, Pascal Manetsch, met the Nepalese mountain guide Ngima Grimen Sherpa on one of his trips to Asia and made an expedition with him to the Singu Chuli 6501m in the Annapurnaregion. The two were planning to start a club or business together that would travel to Nepal and other countries and give Ngima Grimes Sherpa work.

Unfortunately, fate has not meant anything good with Ngima Grimes Sherpa; He died on Christmas Eve 25th December 2012 due to a fatal motorcycle accident, as a third party, and leaves behind two little girls and a dear, young wife.

Unfortunately, as in Nepal, there is virtually no work in general. As a result, Ngima’s wife is unable to provide income. Through Ngima’s death, the whole family (parents, relatives, siblings, etc.), all living together, was completely torn apart. Most of Ngima’s family had to move back to their mountainous areas to ensure their survival with rice cultivation.

The founders have set themselves the goal of putting their shared vision into reality. This association was founded with the purpose of supporting Ngima’s family (providing school education for his girls, improving the standard of living) and supporting schools and institutions in Nepal and Kyrgyzstan.

This company has the legal form of an association, is registered in the Swiss Chamber of Commerce (CH-320.6.073.912-6) and offers unforgettable trips to various countries. Certain journeys can not be found anywhere in Switzerland, e.g. Ski tours in volcanic regions of Kamchatka. A journey with us is not bound to a membership.

We do not work for profit, but donate income to families, schools and institutions, mainly in Nepal and Kyrgyzstan. We are thus pursuing a strong charitable purpose. Although it may seem commercial in nature, we are not commercially oriented but charitable. This sets us apart from virtually all competitors. In addition, one can come to us with a concrete or completely open idea and we will do everything we can to turn any crazy idea into reality. Our very broad network will gladly provide for any adventure and help actively in the planning and implementation.

Thus, those who travel with us are thus also charitably engaged and, in addition to their travels and the associated activities for our employees, also do good beyond that! We sincerely thank for the trust that goes with it.

We are happy to send you our statutes upon request.
