The local founder, guides, communications lead, and medical lead who plan and run your EcoTourNepal trip — you work with these people directly, from first message to your flight home.

## The people behind your trip

- [Dr. Barsha Dahal](/about/team/barsha-dahal) — Medical Lead: The doctor who makes sure every trekker is fit for the mountains — before the trip and all along the trail.
- [Rohan KC](/about/team/rohan-kc) — Tour & Trekking Guide: A licensed guide who has spent his life learning Nepal's heritage — and now leads his own crew through it.
