The Divine Team

Founder & Managing Director
Narayan B Shrestha (Deepak)

Deepak joined Nepal’s vibrant tourism industry at the age of 15. Starting out from ground zero in his salaried job, his main responsibilities included itinerary planning and ensuring smooth operations for every trip along the different parts of the Himalayan region. Over the years, due to the requirements of work, Deepak has walked the trails of many well-known treks around Nepal (Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp etc), Tibet (High Mountain Trek Kangshung Face), Sikkim (Gochala Pass and Kanchenjunga Base Camp High Mountain Trek) and summit Mt Kinabalu in Sabah more than six times.

Having gained good exposure in the industry, Deepak set up Divine International Explore and Treks in 2000 offering visitors and trekkers his expertise in outdoor adventure along the Himalayan region. As a Managing Director, Deepak directs and manages all aspects of the company with a dedicated team of experienced staff. He is firm on one very important principle of the company – Service with Integrity and ensures that all staff are aligned with this motto. This has brought about many repeat businesses from both business partners and clients who have engaged the company’s services. Under his leadership, the company has organized many successful treks and expeditions for international clients from both Europe and Asia.

Deepak also represents the Nepal Tourism Board as its Honorary PR Representative in Singapore. He has since facilitated the promotion of Nepal as an exciting travel destination through various channels such as individual and education travel, filming, talks, tradeshows and events and simply providing information. His strategic portfolio and network has bridged potential projects and opportunities between the two countries.

Today, Deepak is still very much involved in ground operations and personally sees to the success of every trip. He shuttles among the Himalaya and Singapore often and enjoys the recce trips in-between.

Marketing Director
Alice Giam

Having the privilege of traveling since young, Alice has set foot on the majority of the continents. Her favourite pastime is jetting off to Hong Kong at a moment’s notice for good food and company while Disneyland (Yes, the original one in Aneheim) remains attractive to her in her adult years.

From her backpacking days, she learnt that being resilient, adaptable and having good sense of humour are essential qualities of a good traveler. These are the same qualities she looks for in a travel companion even today. Many unforgettable moments have shaped her travel expectations and outlook – counting the stars outside the desert tent in Pushkar, having McDonald’s tandoori chicken burger in Jaipur, standing in awe of sunrise at Poonhill, drinking beer at roadside stall on Chinese New Year eve in Yogjakarta, relaxing in Red Piano Bar (Angelina Jolie and crew were there when filming Tomb Raiders) in Siem Reap, having a cup of Chay with the locals in Istanbul, spotting her first animal in the African safari, searching for the perfect art piece in the streets of Hanoi – she concludes that the best travel experience is simply enjoy the local atmosphere or activity wherever you are and be open to possibilities.

Her established background in marketing and events management naturally led her to direct the marketing efforts of Divine.
The fun part of the job is undoubtedly traveling with Deepak to explore product offerings and meeting people to talk about travel.

Ever so often, she get asked by a client : “How on earth did you get the best job on earth?”
