“We don't sell adventures. We guide lives. The mountain was here before us and it will outlast us — our job is to help you meet it honestly.”

How It Started
It starts, as most things do in the mountains, with trust earned over time.
Pradhuman Singh Negi has been teaching people to move safely through the high Himalayas for longer than most of our trekkers have been alive — students, corporate teams, institutions, India Army. In Kinnaur, where he serves as President of the regional Mountaineering Association, he is not just a guide. He is the custodian of a tradition. Around him, over years, gathered a group of trek leads whose collective expertise spans the great routes of both India and Nepal.
Nitin Negi — his nephew, returning from years in corporate — saw what was missing. Not talent. Not passion. A structure that could carry all of it outward into the world.
Gurdit Singh completed the picture. A trainer of trainers, forged in Nepal's trekking corridors, he brought the operational fluency that only comes from having done the work yourself, at every level.
Together they asked a simple question: what if the best guides in the Himalayas owned the platform, instead of just working for one?
The answer is Yeti Expeditions. Rooted in Kinnaur. Active across Nepal and the Indian Himalaya. Built on the belief that expertise shared is expertise multiplied.
Yeti Expeditions exists because the best guides in the Himalayas deserved better than obscurity. Every lead on our roster is a partner — not a hire. They don't work for us. We work together. That distinction is the whole point.
By The Numbers
The Expert Leads. You Follow.
The Mountain Decides
No summit is worth a life. We turn back when the mountain demands it — and we train our clients to trust that call. Ego is the most dangerous piece of kit you can carry above 5,000m.
Oxygen Monitoring
Twice-daily SpO2 monitoring isn't a nice-to-have. It's protocol. . Every itinerary has built-in acclimatisation. There are no shortcuts above the clouds.
The Guide Is Not A Porter
Our guides are certified mountaineers with decades of high-altitude experience. They read weather, manage altitude, and carry the knowledge of generations. Treat them accordingly.
Leave Less Than You Found
Every permit fee funds trail restoration. Every camp is left cleaner than we arrived. We operate at a deficit with the mountain — it has given us everything, we owe it our best effort.

Why Yeti
Group Cap: 12
Every expedition. Non-negotiable. Quality of experience and safety both degrade past this number at altitude.
Fitness Vetting
Every trekker is assessed before confirmation. We turn people down. It protects them and the group.
2× Daily SpO2
Morning and evening oxygen saturation checks from Namche onwards. Data, not guesswork.
Evacuation Protocol
Well defined protocols. No improvising in an emergency.
