sharing knowledge: The first adventure of WeAdvent

A brief walk-through

If everything was as easy as dreaming then terms like planning, patience, hard work, team work etc wouldn't have existed. All our ideas or dreams would become useless if it remains in the same form. Taking something out of your brain and exercising it in real world requires a lot of courage. And from past one year, that courage was absent and if it was present, then it was so weak that it made no effort to come in the real world. Simply for us, it took a year to gather a courage to start something that we are passionate about. Uplifting Nepalese tourism, lives of Nepalese through tourism.

The first brilliant idea of tourism was thrown to me by Santosh Acharya,my colleague and co-founder of WeFinance. After that, I became irresistible. Naming the company itself was so difficult. Santosh and I came out with 100 names. But to find the name that completely matches our interest and that becomes a pillar to create brand 'We' was a difficult task. The process of finding a suitable name took more than months. I tried to take the suggestion of a travel company from all my good friends circle. And at last we both agreed to take a brand name WeAdvent. A short form of WeAdventure (because domain weadventure was not available)

Possibilities in impossibility

Tourism remains much hyped business in Nepal but unluckily few sincere players can create no big impact. Now the need in tourism industry needs the entrance of quality minded business people who can create a impact on overall tourism sector in Nepal. Although there are lot of challenges like infrastructure,investment, strong regulations and corporate governance, social, political etc but it is still possible. If we won't start it today, 10 years down the line, all we can do is regret. So better to start today.

Team is strength

One of our informal and socially motivated business practise in Laxminagar (New Delhi) is WeFinance Association. It took a good shape in our Nepalese community in Laxminagar in past one year. Many student believe that we were able to stand because of our unique organisation and for being able to help students in short term financial needs. But that is the part story.WeFinance is successful because of it's team. It is because management being flexible at the same time keeping our ethos unchanged

Taking the lesson from WeFinance we are trying to make our WeAdvent management stronger. We needed such person who had 100 times more passion to travel than both of us. Such a person who can handle the difficult situation, can take the risk with big chest. Now although we three have different personalities we have common mission. And we welcomed Diwakar Pandey in our board room.

First Trekking to Triund

There were lots of options for our first trip. From sight seeing in Manali to Trekking in Kheer Ganga. We preferred trekking over everything. Because we want to experience little bit of adventure and analyze it. Trekking in Nepal is considered as one of the best adventure trip. So, we wanted to start with same thing in India. The plan of Kheer Ganga was cancelled due to snowfall. And then planning of Triund began.

This was the first trip we were going to organise. We wanted it to be flawless. The feelings used to be mixed. Actually there were three feeling; excited, nervous and confident. And we were deep inside this vicious circle.

WeGroup along with few noted person became our first formal customer. As a team, we all were having a first experience. Arranging everything smoothly was a challenge. From vehicle to toothpaste, there were so many things to be taken care of.
