Before starting my own registered trekking company I grew up at Papa’s House (Nepal Orphans Home), staying more than 12 years. After I finished my school leaving certificate (SLC) I had a 3 month holiday. My uncle was a well-experienced trekking guide and I had a holidays, so thought, “Why don’t I do trekking for some time?” then for the first time I did a trek in the Annapurna Circuit where my uncle was a trekking guide for five foreigners. I had three friends as a porter carrying luggage . During this first experience on a trek I found that trekkers are happy, travelling from one place to another in the mountains and other places. Meeting new people and sharing stories and getting to know each other and of course climbing mountain is really fun and adventurous. I learned many things about trekking expeditions from my uncle too and later I trekked almost all of the trekking routes of Nepal.

In 2014 after I had finished my +2 college I participated in trekking guide licensed training from the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal (TAAN) for one month. Since completion I started working as a trekking guide through Volunteer Nepal .

Then in 2018 I finished my University (with a bachelor’s degree in social workBefore starting my own registered trekking company I grew up at Papa’s House (Nepal Orphans Home), staying more than 12 years.
