THE ORIGIN STORY
From a Lifelong Dream
to Full-Time Mountain Guiding
Around 2002, our founder, Mr. Chatar Singh Rawat (affectionately known as Shambhu), established Yeti Adventure in Uttarkashi. What began as a personal passion soon grew into a mission to share the pristine beauty of our mountains with travelers from around the world.
Born and raised in the high meadows of Dayara, Shambhu spent his early years exploring the forests, rivers, and alpine trails of Garhwal. The same trails that shaped his childhood later inspired him to build Yeti Adventure, a platform to create meaningful journeys while supporting local communities.
Today, he continues to lead with the same spirit: simple living, deep respect for nature, and a commitment to responsible tourism.
