3rd Wednesday Social/Potluck/Speaker: Everest Base Camp ...

Charusmitha Ram is a passionate traveler, hiker, backpacker, artist, designer, day-dreamer and a full-time mom. She used to be a regular working professional doing the every day grind of driving to work, working late hours in a typical corporate job, and juggling other life commitments. All of that changed in November of 2023, when she decided to pause and listen to what the universe really wanted her to do. And so…the wanderlust adventures began. She started navigating the world at a more human pace, remembering to smell the flowers and taking new pathways to places that would only take her by foot, slowly, one step at a time.

Over the years, she’s hiked and backpacked in the Whites and is close to completing the 48 4000 footers. Her artistic focus has been printmaking, and she runs workshops at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts for both adults and for children. She’s also an Assistant Scout Master at Troop 4 Hopkinton and in 2024 went backpacking in Philmont, New Mexico, with a crew of 12 for two weeks.

In April of 2025, she hiked Everest Base Camp and Chola Pass, one of the three mountain passes in the region. Her next adventure is to hike Mt. Elbert in Colorado and the Ben Nevis in Scotland in 2026. She will be sharing her adventure with us tonight!
