Dave Morahan

After walking and climbing in the British hills since he was a child, Dave  decided to leave his home in Yorkshire, England and explore the  mountains of the world. After 5 years of travelling, trekking and climbing in some of the world's most beautiful places, he came to the  Indian Himalayas. Over the next four years, in between working as a guide in the French Pyrenees and developing new climbing areas in Northern and Southern India, he explored the mountains around the Kullu Valley and came to know that part of the Himalayas as home. He now lives, when not residing in a cave looking for boulders to climb, in the small  village of Vashisht.  He co-founded High Himalayan Adventure with two  local friends and guides in 2008.

Yogu Raj

Yogu has lived in the Kullu Valley all of his life and knows the area as well as anyone.  An Indian Skiing Champion when he was younger, he has also competed for India on an international level. He went on to complete all of the Indian Mountaineering Federation courses and has  been guiding all over the Indian Himalaya for the last 10 years.  He has  worked with groups from all over the world and is still competing in  Nordic skiing.  He lives in Vashisht with his wife and child.

Narayan Dev

Dev is from Burua village, a few kilometres up the valley from Vashisht.  His village is famous for providing paragliding pilots but Dev also chose to take the path of skiing.  As a youngster he was a National Champion and visited places such as New Zealand to train and competed in the Junior Asian Games in Japan and Korea.  He is also a paragliding instructor and runs courses for locals and tourists. He has a vast  knowledge of the Indian Himalaya and has completed one of the longest  trips possible, a 30 day hike from Himachal over to Gangotri, the source of the Ganga River. Like Yogu, Dev has worked in the hills with  trekkers and climbers from many countries for several years.
