About Us

OUR STORY

Adventure Central Travel was established in 2016 as an extension of The Altitude Gym located on the Central Coast of NSW to bridge the gap between fitness and adventure. Born from a passion for exploration, our mission has always been to create meaningful and challenging outdoor experiences that inspire confidence and resilience.

We began by leading guided treks and expeditions that blended physical endurance with the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. As we grew, our adventures expanded across diverse terrains, from secluded mountain trails to towering 8,000m peaks and the highest summits on every continent, offering challenges suited to every level of explorer. With a commitment to safety, expert leadership, and immersive travel, we have grown into a trusted name in adventure tourism.

OUR MISSION

To deliver safe, exhilarating, and unforgettable trekking and mountaineering experiences tailored to adventurers of every skill level, while championing environmental stewardship and sustainability to preserve the majestic beauty of the mountains for future generations.

OUR VISION

We strive to create extraordinary mountaineering experiences that not only inspire and elevate the lives of the climbing community but also honour and safeguard the mountains and the people who call them home. Through respect and responsibility, we aim to foster a deep connection between adventurers and nature, ensuring a harmonious balance for years to come.

HOW WE OPERATE

Our success is driven by a dedicated, passionate, and hardworking team that is deeply committed to mountaineering and to delivering exceptional experiences. With a strong enthusiasm for the mountains, our team members are highly motivated and work together seamlessly to ensure every climb is a success.

We organize logistics for all seven summits and a variety of other climbs, offering a blend of scheduled expeditions and bespoke trips tailored for private groups. We understand the unique needs of our clients and pool our resources to deliver exceptional outcomes.

In addition to our global climbs, we collaborate with local guides, outfitters, and businesses, fostering the growth of the local economies and supporting the communities where we operate. We are deeply committed to sustainability; on every expedition, we use only eco-friendly products, biodegradable soaps, and other environmentally responsible materials to minimize pollution and protect the ecosystems we explore.

Our "Leave No Trace" policy is integral to our operations. This means no campfires, responsible waste disposal, and a steadfast respect for wildlife and their habitats. Furthermore, we take responsibility for our environmental impact by offsetting carbon emissions through investments in renewable energy and sustainable initiatives, ensuring that our adventures preserve the natural world for future generations.

Jason Krishnan

Director

Jason thrives in the world’s harshest conditions—battling cold, wind, and gruelling climbs on remote peaks. A dedicated mountaineer and ultra-endurance athlete, he has a proven track record in high-altitude expeditions. In October 2018, Jason became the 24th Australian to summit Mt. Manaslu, the eighth-highest mountain in the world. In 2022, he took on Mt. Annapurna I, the world's tenth-highest peak, turning back just 350 meters from the summit due to equipment failure—yet still becoming the oldest Australian to reach that altitude on the mountain. Later that year, he completed solo ascents of Mt. Blanc and The Weissmies in the European Alps.

His adventures span the globe. He has completed the Everest Base Camp trek six times and climbed on every continent except Antarctica. Beyond mountaineering, his endurance knows no limits—competing in marathons, ultra-marathons, triathlons, and long-distance ocean swims. Whether climbing, swimming, cycling, running, or training at The Altitude Gym, he maintains peak fitness—and he loves unwinding riding his motorbike.

Professionally, Jason works in the financial planning industry as a Property Investment Specialist, guiding clients through the complexities of property investment. But his true passion lies in mountaineering—helping others achieve their high-altitude trekking goals safely while sharing expert insights on fitness, gear, and the effects of altitude. With a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience, he is eager to ensure you are fully prepared for your next adventure.
