I started working as a trek guide in 1998 and since this time I have experience in my field. I've always been passionate about travelling and this passion started early in life in my hometown, Gorkha, known as the namesake and home of the Gorkhali. I've traveled to over 15 countries in Europe and Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, China, France, Germany, Netherlands and more. I've been in the shoes of the tour guide, as well as the tourist. My professional experience of over 2 decades, supplemented by my personal passion and experience for travelling, have made one of the best tour guides in Nepal today. I've been operating tours and treks throughout Nepal since my early days as a trekking guide. Whether I'm touring to the cultural heritage sites of Kathmandu, crossing high passes over 5, 000 meters in the Everest region or exploring the jungles of Chitwan on a safari, I'm always ecstatic to travel. The ancient cultures and traditions of the villages and city, the lush biodiversity and of course the stunning natural beauty and scenery, Nepal will surely leave you mesmerized. I know how much more enjoyable a trip can become if you get to travel to the places you want to see rather than just follow a bland and standardized itinerary. As such, please feel free to inform me of any customizations that you may want so that I can meet your expectations as best as possible. Let's have a memorable time in Nepal!
This tour will let you see how two different religions and cultures co-exist peacefully in Kathmandu. Pashupatinath lies on the banks of the Bagmati River and this Hindu Temple precinct consists of temples, ashrams, inscriptions and images. Boudhanath area, which is just 5 mins drive away from Pashupatinath, is rich in Tibetan Culture within Kathmandu and is home to more than 50 Tibetan Monasteries (Gompas).
Religion is a way of life and at the heart of every religion lies designated sacred places where deities are remembered and worshipped. These sacred places are often the birthplace centre of the finest architecture, symbols, and culture within that religion. Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa also bear these hallmarks.
The trip will last for about 4 hours. I will come to meet our destination in Kathmandu. As soon as all of our team members assemble, We walk to pashupatinath temple. At the site, I will brief you about Hindu Belief, the importance of Pashupatinath, its history and major festivals and how they are celebrated. If you time your visit right, you might also witness them first-hand. Next, we will head to Boudhanath – located on the northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu. This is one of the sites in the world, where you can actually observe everyday rituals carried out by Tibetan Monks. Boudhanath is believed to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha. We will spend some time there at Tibetan Art Gallery and some of the popular monastery.
