MELANIE KREUZER – DIRECTOR (Europe)
Since childhood, Melanie was always interested in Nepal and the Himalayas. She felt inspired by them, knowing, she would go there as soon as possible.
In 2007, the big moment has come: going for the first time to Nepal after being in the Indian Himalayas before. She spent almost two months, travelling, climbing and trekking with a close friend of hers. Her love and compassion for the mountains, the people and the country did start; and never has ended. This was meant to be the first time being in Nepal of many numbers to come.
She spent some months in the Himalayas each year since – and during her visitis, she got to know Prem personally (as she always booked her expeditions and trekkings with Ace the Himalaya).
In 2008 they decided to join forces and Melanie is very happy to help and support Ace the Himalaya, with its trekking- and expedition company as well as Shambav Nepal Foundation.
Some words by Melanie:
Nepal and the Himalayas have inspired me.
Since I’ve first heard of the name ‚Kathmandu‘ as a small child, I knew this place - with its mystic name - must be something special. And indeed, years later I’ve been there and have discovered so much beauty, mysticism and happiness that I’m proud of being part of Ace the Himalaya.
