Wandering Yaks

Careers

Working with the Yaks.

Small team. Mountain-dwelling. Slower pace than tech, less pay than banking, better views than either.

Who we hire

Two categories: office / operations (year-round, based in Gilgit or Leh, mostly Pakistani and Indian nationals) and seasonal mountain crew (guides, cooks, porters, drivers — always local to the region they work in).

We do not hire international staff as guides in the mountain regions themselves. That would defeat the point.

How we hire

  • Applications by email. No LinkedIn spam.
  • Real conversations, not scripted interview questions.
  • Written offer with clear pay, benefits, off-season retainer.
  • Trial season for mountain crew, then long-term contract.
