Our Drivers & Logistics Crew.
ImageMany tours require drivers and we rely on their great behind the wheel skills and approach to safety and guest comfort….. they may not speak a lot of English but the international language of a big smile, will say it all. The same goes for our many support or logistics crew working tirelessly and not just on-board for a free ride! They are normally too busy for photos or shy, so a snap shot of their vehicle and abilities to manage under sever conditions is a testament – way to go guys!!

 

Krishna – Store Manager.
ImageWith equipment on hand for treks, camping, biking and general supplies and all that other stuff which ends up in store rooms you need a good man (or women) to keep it in order and ready for the next trip out – Thanks Krishna!

 

Team Mascots / Donut & Sutria
ImageNo Team is complete without a mascot or two……… so our trusty dog “Donut”,
(our ever watchful Tibetan Mastiff) and the effervescent Sutria are key personalities to the HMB Adventures Team
