Greetings from the Himalayas! It gives me immense pleasure to introduce myself as a professional Trekking/Tour Guide with experience of over two decades. I have explored most of the trekking regions in Nepal and have learned about Himalayan biodiversity, culture, people their lifestyles. It has been my lifelong passion to help travelers from around the world show the beauty of Nepal and the warm hospitality of Nepalese people. I spent most of my formative years in the bosom of nature, listening to the chirping of birds, watching herds of elephants, swimming in rivers, and caring for trees and plants. And I consider it a privilege to be able to wake up every morning to the sights of glorious Himalayas. I am easy going, tactful, and fluent in English and French. I know my way around mountains and skilled at getting out of any unforeseeable circumstances that I encounter. As a guide, you can trust me. Hope to have an opportunity to serve you!
