I started working as a trek guide in 1998 and since this time I have experience in my field. I've always been passionate about travelling and this passion started early in life in my hometown, Gorkha, known as the namesake and home of the Gorkhali. I've traveled to over 15 countries in Europe and Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, China, France, Germany, Netherlands and more. I've been in the shoes of the tour guide, as well as the tourist. My professional experience of over 2 decades, supplemented by my personal passion and experience for travelling, have made one of the best tour guides in Nepal today. I've been operating tours and treks throughout Nepal since my early days as a trekking guide. Whether I'm touring to the cultural heritage sites of Kathmandu, crossing high passes over 5, 000 meters in the Everest region or exploring the jungles of Chitwan on a safari, I'm always ecstatic to travel. The ancient cultures and traditions of the villages and city, the lush biodiversity and of course the stunning natural beauty and scenery, Nepal will surely leave you mesmerized. I know how much more enjoyable a trip can become if you get to travel to the places you want to see rather than just follow a bland and standardized itinerary. As such, please feel free to inform me of any customizations that you may want so that I can meet your expectations as best as possible. Let's have a memorable time in Nepal!
