Meet the Team



Sumiran Adhikari
Meet Sumiran Adhikari – The Banker Who Couldn’t Sit Still Eight years ago, in the lecture halls of the University of Liverpool, Sumiran was the guy who planned weekend getaways better than his coursework schedule. Fast forward a few years, and while most would settle into a steady desk job, he somehow decided to do both – working full-time at a bank and running adventures in the Himalayas. His “side hobby” became the famous Backpackers Den franchise, a buzzing traveler’s haven where stories are swapped as easily as tea is poured. It all started when he showed a few friends around Sikkim and realized he was having way more fun than they were – and they were already having the time of their lives. Today, Sumiran blends the precision of a banker with the soul of an explorer, making sure every trip is planned to perfection but lived with spontaneity. With him, you’re not just booking a tour – you’re signing up for an unforgettable story.

Hemant Adhikari
Meet Hemant Adhikari – The Strategist Who Maps Memories Hemant’s journey into travel began not with a backpack, but with a business plan. Armed with a background in business strategy and branding, he quickly realized that the best brands are built on real experiences. Over the past four years, Hemant has become the go-to guy for crafting seamless, memorable itineraries that balance adventure with comfort. Whether he’s designing a wellness retreat or a whirlwind cultural tour, Hemant brings a sharp eye for detail and a knack for storytelling to every trip. For him, travel isn’t just about places—it’s about creating journeys that guests will remember long after they’ve unpacked. With Hemant, you’re not just following an itinerary; you’re discovering the art of travel, one thoughtfully planned day at a time.
What travellers say
"Hey, good morning. It was a really good trip. Awesome facilities from your side."
"It was a wonderful experience and I honestly did not want to leave if the situation wasn't like this. I need to take an early morning bus/taxi from here to Gangtok and can drivers were asking me for 1k from the hostel to sntd bus stand in Gangtok. So for me it was a better decision to stay in Gangtok overnight instead of spending on travelling from rumtek early morning. You have a really talented bunch of people who genuinely care about the guest and it was really heartwarming to see that. For me, any city I visit, the people make the city, not its buildings or markets. So in that sense I had a great experience at BPD. Thank you and good luck."
"Thank you for everything. We had a great stay, good food and the driver was awesome."
"Thank you so much Sumiran for your warm hospitality. I loved being here and I can say that this trip was successful only because of you. You were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay and loved the services. Your whole staff is humble, generous, polite and professional. I can 100% recommend Backpackers Den to my friends and family. Hope to see you soon again. Thank you."
"Thank you very much, Sumiran. Yes, I have been without wifi. Someone gave me a sim card recently, thank goodness. I spoke with the Permit Department officer at the entrance gate to Rumtek, and he assured me that it wasn't necessary for me to fill out the form at the Backpacker's Den. I inquired several times, and he assured me that it wasn't necessary. Many thanks again for all of your kind help and hospitality. I will be giving you an excellent write-up soon. Still sick, unfortunately. Best wishes!"
"Thank you Sumiran for being such a gracious host. We really appreciate it."
