Himalayan Hipsters

At Himalayan Hipsters, we’re into connecting people & their culture from all walks of life through conversations. “Start the Conversation” is our vision & also our mission. We believe that conversations are the catalyst to change. We want to encourage our viewers and listeners to give a voice to their inner thoughts and start challenging the norms when necessary. We aspire to ignite the courage to have and normalize difficult conversations not only with your loved ones but also with your inner circle and your communities. Great innovations are just a simple conversation away! We are creating a safe space for sharing ideas and discussing new ways of adapting and evolving in an ever changing world. At Himalayan Hipsters, we are exploring new ways for the Himalayan youth to express their true authentic selves in a world where we are influenced by everything around us. Through fashion, art, travel and music, we want to create news ways to explore and understand ourselves to become a mosaic of all our experiences, inspirations and influences while staying connected to our roots.
