Namaste! I am Milan. There is so much to see, feel, taste, explore, learn and understand in our small Himalayan country due to such diversified yet complex social & religious structure. “Once is not enough” is the motto of Tourism in Nepal. Meeting people from around the world and sharing & learning the ideas, knowledge and wisdom is what I liked most about working in tourism. And after working for long time, I still am very curious about so-so many things and always seeking and learning to provide the deeper insights of natural and cultural beauty of Archaic Nepal with proper safety and comfort.
