What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in treks across the Everest, Annapurna, and Manaslu regions, with both classic and off-the-beaten-path routes. From Everest Three Passes to Manaslu Circuit, as well as peak climbing on Lobuche and Island Peak, I plan expeditions that balance adventure with safety and comfort. I’m also passionate about cultural treks where travelers can immerse themselves in Sherpa villages."
How did you get involved in travel?

I started as a porter in my late teens, gradually gained experience, and became a licensed trekking and climbing guide. Over the years, I’ve guided international groups and cultivated a style of leadership grounded in patience and care."

"One unforgettable memory was guiding a family with three generations on the Everest Base Camp trek. Seeing grandparents and grandchildren unite under the shadow of Everest was inspiring. Their determination and joy reminded me of why I love this work—adventure has a way of bringing people closer together."
