Involving in tourism: since 1995
I was born in BASA, the fold of Everest region Solukhumbu district in 1979 a very impoverished farming family. I was the elder child among 3 brothers and 2 sisters in a family. My very young childhood was spent as an animal herder with my grandmother around in Dudhkoshi River bank, a village to the highland pasture. During that time, School was already established around the village but children could not attend due to distance. At the same time, PADMA KANYA PRIMARY SCHOOL was established at Damku, and UPA Pradhan Mr. Purna Bahadur Rai (Saya) and Head Master Punya Prasad Dhunganga were searching for students around the villages. My parents agreed to our (including brothers and sisters) school rather than animal herding. Then, we continued our studies at school and helped our parents at the field and farm during off-school time. Sometimes later, a High school was starting beyond my village at Khastap.
I finished my school-level studies in 1995 at Himalayan High School Khastap. Then wanted to study further level but college or campus were impossible in Solukhumbu. Everyone had to move into the city for further studies. Economically, studying at the campus in the city was out of a dream for me, by the same time my father passed away. Even though the flame of further study was constantly growing in my will but the marginal economic level of our family and widow mom could not support my further study. However, I have decided to go to the city for higher education. When I moved to the City, more core struggle time began for my study and economy. There was no penny’s support possibility from my home. Because of that, I had to look for some part times work. Working on trekking as a carrier was already familiar to me in Solukhumbu. So, I joined a trekking company for economic support. I worked as a porter, Spare boy, Kitchen boy, and Sherpa boy during the trekking season and studied at other times. Because of my hardworking and dedicated nature trek companies started to post me as a trekking cook and guide for outline tours. I have worked with so many reputed companies as a trekking guide, mountain guide, and tour leader at cultures, pilgrimage sites, plain terrain jungle safari, world heritage sites high mountains trekking, and expedition across the whole of Nepal, India, and Tibet. Also, I worked with broadcasting channels such as National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, documentaries, Photographers, magazines, and many news outlines. Besides them, I worked with some social working institutes Like KIRAT KHALINGUTTHAN SANGH, BASA FOUNDATION, and ELITE GROUP MULTIPURPOSE. The journey (tourism) became an important university for me, because within these times I met so many different kinds of people across the whole world from common to highly respected, poor to unbelievably rich, neglects to researchers and laymen to supper intelligent also got a chance to understand nation- wise people’s character. My long experiences in tourism taught me methods of fulfilling the interest of travelers, methods, and tricks to pick suitable and remarkable sites for matching their holidays and dreams.
Because of all those cumulative experiences, finally derived me and my team to found TOUREN NEPAL TREKS Pvt. Ltd. Through this company, I want to share three decades of my experiences by managing your effective travel packages for families, singles, couples, and groups, group of serious climbers and people looking for a long weekend or adventures. I am highly focused on the deliverance of every interest of visitors whether in a group or individual, whether in remote villages or mountains or the bustling city or in safaris. Making your holidays a lifetime rewarding in the mystic Himalayas and creating jobs for back-warded people and supporting them through some social services in remote villages of Nepal is my ultimate promise.
