About Tour Guide Gyanu A.
I was born in , in a country site of Nepal near the Ganesh Himal and langtang Himal area. As I was impressed by the natural beauty of Nepal, Cultural activities and varieties of traditions, festivals I decided to deliver the information to foreigners. I stared my career in tourism as a mountain/trekking porter when i was 14 years old. I used to work in tourism for more than 10 years. After lots of hard work and difficulty’s I became the National Government Licensed Guide .Since then, I have guided more than 100 tours in Nepal as well as Bhutan, and Tibet in different type of activities such as trekking, hiking, peak climbing, adventure activity bungee jumping, river rafting, cliffing, fishing, kayaking, paragliding, tandem, wild life jungle safari, city tour etc. while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I love to deliver the Nepalese cultural things, traditional activities and varieties of such as different ethnical groups/cast in Nepal, Histories, and stories about the heritage sites and natural beauty of Nepal. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help Travelers to enjoy their holiday in Nepal.
