Katherine Kumar

Katherine's dual passion for mountaineering and dance began during college when she studied abroad in Nepal and discovered both Himalayan trekking and traditional Nepali dance forms. After a near-fatal climbing accident in her twenties where her survival skills saved her life, she committed to sharing both her technical outdoor knowledge and cultural experiences through accessible budget travel guides. Her work in education technology allows her to maintain location flexibility while developing online learning platforms that help preserve traditional cultural practices.
