Film Synopsis

“Trailblazing” documents the pioneering spirit and determination of the fledgling few women trekking guides working in a male-dominated adventure tourism industry and a conservative mountain culture. The story centers around three sisters, who operate the first and only female owned trekking agency in Nepal. They saw a need for female guides when women travelers returned from treks reporting incidents of inappropriate or harassing behaviour from their male guides. Now the high demand for female guides has prompted the sisters to train approximately 20 to 25 young women twice a year to build capacity for women in the industry, also a first in Nepal.
