How did you get involved in travel?

"I started my career in different NGOs and INGO but later shifted to Bank. Slowly, I discovered that my true passion was travelling. In the last 10 years, I have travelled everywhere around Nepal; high Himalayas to low Terai. I am also licensed Trek and Tour Guide from the Nepal government."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Recently, I was in Everest basecamp trekking, just after my semi trek from Mustang. The trek was smoothly going in spite of high season and traffic. The group was slowly moving from Phakdhing to Namche; a Himalayan tourist hub. Last phase of monsoon had caused a landslide in between TocToc and Benkar distroying the trekking trail and local people were maintaining the trail utilizing the time and resource. The trekking trail was diverted near the Dudh Koshi River and stiff ascended to the Bemkar waterfall. The trail is nice and easy but due to the altitude it is one of the tough.
All the members were from United Kingdom except us members. To be honest the trail was bit like a Highway for me; a guy from Humla, we used to climbed high Himalayan passes and traverse vast and narrow Himalayan terrain, carry our logistic with our cattle for survival. Among them a young lady approach me with a proposal,
“Wanna run?” She stared me with a nasty look, mixture of shy and expression dignity.
With due respect, competent and being a Nepali (giving up is not in my blood) I agreed.
We took our position and started our race, the whole crowed of trekkers were watching us, there were lots of people struggling to hike but we two were running, other people thought we were crazy. Our mates were curious about the result. All the ladies were calling the name of that lady, cheering up her, she had a great pickups, but I caught her in about hundred meters, where I could feel my lungs pounding like a base drum, and she even giving her best. I pushed myself bit harder and found getting ahead of the lady as altitude was in my favor. I realize they were prepared and want to check me, so I thought I must not leave out of legacy of Manhood by controlling my winning.
