About Tour Guide Surajan P.

My background in tourism, along with my studies in Nepalese History, Culture, and Archaeology, allows me to go beyond any standard sightseeing.I enjoy explaining the meaning behind traditions, the history hidden within temples and old streets, and the cultural details that many travelers would normally walk past without noticing.


I’m also deeply connected to Nepal’s living heritage through music, local communities, and traditional storytelling.Playing the folk Nepali instrument Sarangi has given me another way to understand and share the spirit of Nepal beyond facts and dates.


Rather than offering rushed, checklist-style tours, I focus on creating experiences that feel genuine, thoughtful, and rooted in real cultural understanding.


Looking forward to show you around.
