Rob Callander
Managing Director and Founder of Himalayan Roadrunners, Rob has lived in Kathmandu for many years as well as on an off-grid remote farm in the hills of Vermont. A trained diesel mechanic and certified British Bike Nut, Rob divides his time between the Himalaya, Northern Thailand and Vermont. His love of adventure, mountains and riding, led him to guiding treks and motorcycle expeditions throughout the Himalaya & South East Asia, including the first ascent by a motorcycle group of Khardung La Pass in Ladakh India, the World’s Highest Motorable Road (1994), the first motorcycle tour across The Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan (1997), the first organized ride from Kathmandu to Lhasa, Tibet in 1998, and more recently, lead the first motorcycle group to cross notorious Shan State in Burma back into Thailand’s Golden Triangle, a 2 week unprecedented epic ride that was spectacular!
