Yug Ajay (Sound Therapist & Meditation Leader)
Yug Ajay is a professional sound healing therapist who has 5 years experience. From his early age he was always obsessed with nature, music and the energy that surrounds us. It was his obsession that led him forward in seeking knowledge and learning from a great vedic master who had the ancient secrets of “Baidangya Bidya”. It was Ajay’s first step and which changed his life.
His search of knowledge did not end there yet, he explored many places, had “Satsang” with Babas and Sadhus, learned different forms of yoga and as a result of his years of research and knowledge he was gifted with the divine sound of the singing bowls.
For the next few years he explored even more in depth of the healing power of vibrations, sounds, colors, rays and frequencies and how these elements affect our lives, This knowledge is what he has been sharing for the past 5 years. Today he has shared his knowledge to more than a thousand people around the world.
We are Honored to have Ajay as a Leader on our team for Sound Healing, Chanting, Meditation and Education.
Raju, Krishna, Suresh (Porters) 
Our Porters have been working together as a team for many years. They have a great friendship and this shows in the way they interact with each other and within our team. We are in safe hands with these guys as they know these Mountains having grown up within their heights.
Their local knowledge shines through on our trek and retreat just by them simply being themselves. Together they have a combined 25-30 years experience working as Porters, and they speak great English.
Raju, Krishna and Suresh will be with us during the 7 day trek to help us with carrying bags, tents and any other items we may need assistance with. They are also great company and can share amazing stories of Nepali culture and local knowledge of the mountains.
