OUR FOUNDER’S INSPIRATION

The Story Behind Gokyo……

At the heart of our brand is Gokyo, born from both a place and a state of being. Nestled high in the Himalayas, Gokyo is more than a village; it's a sacred threshold for those who choose altitude over ease and clarity over comfort. It is a place where the air grows thin, the silence deepens, and the world's weight falls away.


For our founder, Venki, it wasn't just a stop on the trail but an awakening. In that moment, Gokyo became more than geography. It became a symbol of resilience, purity, and elemental truth, a single word that could hold within three decades of Trails & Summits.
