Search & Rescue Operations

Precision in Nepal’s Wildest Terrain

Nepal’s beauty hides its dangers. With trails vanishing into clouds, sudden storms, avalanches, and high-risk terrain, even seasoned trekkers can find themselves lost or stranded. Our Search and Rescue (SAR) teams are trained to handle Nepal’s toughest challenges—from the dense jungles of Chitwan to the frozen ridgelines of Kanchenjunga. We work in close collaboration with local communities, national parks, and law enforcement agencies to locate missing individuals using satellite tracking, aerial reconnaissance, and field units. Our mountain-savvy teams, many of whom are experienced Sherpas and climbers themselves, bring unmatched knowledge of the terrain and culture, making rescues more efficient and humane.

Sharlima ensures smooth operations, coordinating emergency evacuations and client assistance.
Her expertise in logistics and crisis management helps maintain Alpine’s reputation for reliability and excellence.

“I have been a part of Alpine Rescue Service for over 8 years, starting my journey as an
Operations Officer. After three years of dedication and hands-on experience, I was promoted to
Senior Operations Officer, and I now serve as the Operations Manager.

One of the most defining periods of my career was during the COVID-19 lockdown, when I was
the only person actively working in the operations department, aside from the managerial
team. In a time of global crisis and uncertainty, I took full responsibility for handling all
operational duties—managing emails, coordinating rescues, providing 24/7 support, and
ensuring that not a single case was left unattended. While many services came to a halt, I made
sure Alpine Rescue’s operations remained uninterrupted.

Having witnessed both the highs and lows of this organization, I remain driven to improve the
quality of our operations, strengthen our network, and uphold the reliability Alpine Rescue
Service is known for. Every day, I strive to make our assistance faster, more responsive, and
more compassionate for those in need.”
