At the heart of Ethical Himalaya Expeditions lies the leadership of Stanzin Namgyal and Rigzin Tsewang, two mountaineers whose combined experience spans over two decades of trekking and climbing in the Himalayas. Stanzin’s journey began as a youth in Ladakh, later becoming the captain of India’s Under-19 Ice Hockey team before transitioning to mountain guiding. His love for the mountains led him to create a company that integrates adventure with responsibility.

Rigzin Tsewang joined Stanzin in 2020, bringing decades of mountaineering knowledge and deep roots in Ladakh. His expertise in high-altitude trekking and climbs makes him an invaluable asset to the team. Together, Stanzin and Rigzin have shaped Ethical Himalaya Expeditions into a company that not only guides you through the Himalayas but ensures that the experience supports the local community and environment.

Their leadership continues to inspire both seasoned climbers and novices alike, offering adventure experiences that prioritize sustainability and cultural immersion.
