Ganesh Adhikari, the president of Footprints Adventures, is a skilled manager and team player in the tourism industry. Growing up in the hills of Dhading, the settlement of Phulkharka, he has always had a great affinity for the mountains and hills. While other children did their homework and played, he envisioned himself working in the tourism industry. After completing elementary school, he enrolled at Mandali Higher Secondary School for his secondary studies and began working as a porter in the tourism industry.
His journey from fighting to make ends meet as a porter to becoming the chairman of a prestigious company fills him with pride and motivates him to work harder for the benefit of the entire nation.
As someone who has spent nearly half his life in the Himalayas, he believes he is the right candidate to take this business to the next level, as he has worked as a trekking guide and tour manager in Nepal for more than 12 years. As a skillful mountain guide, he has led practically every possible expedition, including Annapurna, Langtang, Dolpa, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, etc., meeting people from all over Nepal and the world, thereby broadening his experience and values. As a mountain enthusiast and tourism entrepreneur, he is adamant that Nepal's economy may be expedited by focusing on the tourism industry. To this end, he will promote and implement innovative programs in Nepal's already affluent but vulnerable tourism industry.
