OUR STORY

YakChit was born from an epic adventure in the Himalayas that changed everything.
In September 2023, our founder, Megsy, took on the challenge of Everest Base Camp and the Three Passes—a journey that pushed her to the edge and opened her eyes to the raw beauty and grit of mountain life.

But it wasn’t just the stunning peaks or the endless skies that left a mark. Up in the mountains, survival means something different. It’s practical, resourceful, and deeply connected to the land.

In the remote tea houses, yak dung fuels the fires that warm the night and brew the morning tea. Megsy became instantly intrigued & inspired by the way of life that these amazing people lived. That simple, powerful act sparked the idea for YakChit.

YakChit isn’t just another hiking brand. It’s a tribute to the strength and ingenuity of those who call the mountains home. We’re here to bring that spirit to life in our gear—designed for adventurers who crave the wild, the rugged, and the real. All of our products are built to last, just like the yaks that inspired Megsy, and made for those who embrace the journey, no matter how tough it gets.

This is more than clothing. It’s a call to adventure, a nod to resilience, and a reminder that the best stories are written in the wild. Wear YakChit, and take a piece of the Himalayas with you—wherever your next adventure leads.
