Gokyo, an emerging player in India’s adventure apparel and gear market, has inaugurated its first in Bengaluru. Alongside its flagship store in Mumbai, Gokyo’s products are accessible in distinguished outdoor stores across Maharashtra, Noida, Srinagar, and Sikkim. The brand intends to further extend its presence in South India with a forthcoming store opening shortly in Hyderabad.
Situated at LV Plaza, 7th Main Rd, HRBR Layout 1st Block, Banaswadi, the new Bengaluru store is a collaboration with the burgeoning outdoor and adventure retail chain “Mountains Within.” This outlet aspires to be the premier destination for adventurers, providing premium-quality apparel and gear for both experienced mountaineers and casual hikers.
The grand opening took place on Saturday, June 1, presided over by former MLA Vinisha Nero. The event showcased an evening with distinguished Everest climbers Sunil Nataraj and Venkatesh Maheshwari, co-founder of Gokyo.
The brand now offers a comprehensive range of outdoor and trekking products, specifically designed for expeditions reaching up to 20,000 feet.
Venki Maheshwari, Co-Founder of Gokyo, stated, “We are thrilled to introduce Gokyo’s cutting-edge, high-quality adventure gear to the Silicon Valley of India. Our objective is to furnish adventurers with premium products and firsthand expertise, guaranteeing they are well-equipped for their forthcoming outdoor escapade. As we broaden our presence across the nation, we aspire to motivate more individuals to embark on exhilarating adventures.”
The brand name “Gokyo” is inspired by Gokyo Ri, a peak celebrated for its breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Everest region. Deriving from the heritage of the Sherpa tribe and the tranquil Gokyo Lake at its base, the brand’s vision and mission are profoundly grounded in this rich cultural milieu.
