Deepak Shah
Senior Guide & Founder
Born and raised in Nagarkot, I've spent my entire life exploring these mountains and sharing their beauty with travelers from around the world. What started as a young boy guiding tourists to the best sunrise spots has become a lifelong passion for connecting people with the magic of the Himalayas.
About Deepak
I founded OutdoorNagarkot with a simple belief: the best way to experience Nepal is through the eyes of someone who calls it home. Over the past 20 years, I've had the privilege of guiding hundreds of travelers through these trails, each journey reinforcing my love for this land.
My deep knowledge of local culture, history, and hidden gems comes from a lifetime of living here. I know the best viewpoints for sunrise, the friendliest families for a village meal, and the quietest trails for peaceful reflection.
Safety is my top priority. I'm certified in wilderness first aid and have completed extensive mountain guide training. But beyond technical skills, I bring genuine warmth and care to every adventure – your experience matters deeply to me.
