Who we are
Namaste! I’m Jess, an Aussie yogi who found an unexpected passion for trekking in Nepal. What seemed a bit bonkers when I first arrived in 2011 quickly became a transformative experience after a short trek with friends. This journey led me to launch Yoga Treks Nepal in 2017, where I combine my love for yoga with a deep appreciation for nature and trekking.
My husband, Rochak, was born and raised in the bustling city of Kathmandu, but he’s an avid trekker at heart. He oversees all logistics, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly for our adventures. With his extensive knowledge of the local terrain, he helps create memorable experiences for every trekker. Our two dogs, Motley and Kakashi, also join in on the fun, always ready to greet you with their wagging tails.
After 13 incredible years in this beautiful country, I’m excited to share the magic of Nepal with you. As your guide, I’ll introduce you to my favorite local spots, authentic experiences, and hidden treasures—offering a unique perspective that goes beyond the typical tourist trail. Join us for more than just a trek—it’s a journey of cultural discovery, physical challenge, and spiritual growth. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or just curious, I can’t wait to share the magic of Nepal’s trails with you.
