Travel with Purpose, Explore Without Limits.

At Impact Adventure, we believe that every journey should do more than just take you to a new place; it should leave the world better than we found it. We’re on a mission to redefine tourism through responsible, inclusion, and lasting impact.

We imagine a world where travel becomes a tool for positive change, where every footprint supports sustainable livelihoods and helps preserve the natural and cultural heritage of our planet. We aim to ensure that tourism strengthens, rather than strains, the people and places it touches.

Meet the Founder : Pankaj Pradhananga

Impact Adventure was born from Pankaj’s deep passion for responsible tourism and his love for the Himalayas. With over 25 years of experience in Nepal’s tourism industry, Pankaj’s journey began humbly in the early 90s — first in food and beverage control, then quickly growing into guiding, managing, and eventually leading one of Kathmandu’s top tour companies.

After meeting Dr. Scott Rains in California in 2013, he began championing accessible tourism, long before it was widely recognised in Nepal. Following the devastating 2015 earthquake, Pankaj played an instrumental role in helping revive the tourism sector. One of his proudest moments came in 2016, when he helped lead the Wounded Heroes Trek of Hope in partnership with International Development Institute, a powerful initiative focused on healing through travel.

In 2025, Pankaj brought all of this experience and heart together to launch Impact Adventure — a company built on the belief that travel should be meaningful, inclusive, and leave a positive mark on both people and places.
