Himalayan Expression Trading Private Limited

Up here in Kurseong, near the Ambootia tea garden, is where you’ll find Himalayan Expression Trading. We operate out of Pravin Thapa’s place in the village of Basseri. It’s a lot quieter here than in the big cities, and the air is definitely better. We deal with trading various items, often connected to what's produced in this region. We aren't a big firm with hundreds of employees. It's a small, local team. We spend our days coordinating between the local producers and the people who want to buy their goods. The roads around here can be tricky, especially during the monsoon, but we’re used to it. We don't have a fancy reception area or a sleek website. Most of our business comes from word of mouth and long-standing relationships. People know Pravin and they know how we work. We don't use those corporate buzzwords you find in brochures. We just talk plain English and tell people what we can do. It’s a simple life, but the work is important to us. We make sure the quality is decent and the transport is arranged. Sometimes things get delayed because of a landslide or a truck breakdown, and we just have to deal with it. It’s part of living and working in the hills. We just try to be fair and keep things moving as best we can. Living here makes you appreciate the slower pace of the hills.
