I protect the pulse of the planet through my work, which promotes tourism and sustainable tourism development in the HKH as a mechanism for building resilience and strengthening the livelihoods of mountain people.

I enjoy the diversity of our work environment and the opportunities to interact and learn from colleagues and partners from different countries, cultures and with different sets of expertise.

My passion involves travelling to different destinations and interacting with local people in order to understand their cultures and traditions. I also enjoy writing blogs and articles about my experiences from field visit and travel.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in hospitality and tourism management from Kathmandu University. Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s degree from Tribhuwan University in rural development and worked previously within ICIMOD as an intern under the Himalica Initiative.
