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.
