Meet Krish Thapa

INTEGRATING ANCIENT WISDOM & PHILOSOPHY INTO MODERN LEADERSHIP & LIVES

Krish is a worldclass high-altitude mountaineer, ex-SF Mountain leader & professional guide. He was the first of two Gurkha from RGR to pass selection into the British SF, serving as head of the Mountain Troops. He has been at the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan in countless challenging situations. He led the largest Summit group up Everest of 13 UKSF and Gurkha and he was the first serving Warrant officer to scale Mt Everest & K2. He has also skied from the summits of Dhaulagiri and other 8000m expeditions. He has guided amputees, blinds, deaf, Parkinson’s disease sufferers and PTSD veterans on expedition in Africa, Europe, and the Himalayas of Nepal.

“We are everyone. Despite our ignorance, we share our knowledge and experiences to better humanity. By showing respect, love, and compassion, we aim to overcome adversity through enlightenment.”

Krish is passionate about integrating ancient wisdom and philosophy into modern leadership and performance. Since 2020, Krish has been conducting a rigorous high-altitude training regime with two inspiring double above-knee amputee veterans – Justin Davis and Hari Budha Magar. He led Hari’s Everest Expedition in 2023 and achieved success. He is also looking to continue to achieve his personal goal of climbing all seven summits. In April 2022 he achieved a world first by guiding Hari the first double above-knee amputee veteran to trek to Everest Base Camp with Genium X3s (Prosthetic Legs). This project reflects Krish’s personal life ambition since leaving the British SF dedicating his life to supporting others to achieve their goals and transcending their limitations.
