I am Ajay Shrestha, a mountain guide, group leader, and passionate traveler. After completing my schooling in India, I furthered my academic journey by pursuing a Master’s in Business Studies and am currently diving into an MPhil-PhD in International Relations and Diplomacy, proudly hailing from Tanahun, Nepal, a stone’s throw away from the country’s tourism heart.

Our tour operator was born from my passion for these adventures, a testament to turning a love for the mountains into a mission. To me, traveling in the Himalayas is more than discovering new places; it’s about discovering oneself. That’s the ethos we stand by.

My journey begins amidst the picturesque landscapes of Uttarakhand, a region renowned for its natural beauty that captivates travelers from all corners of the Indian subcontinent. It was here that my dormant passion for trekking and exploration was ignited, eventually evolving into a vocation as I pursued my studies in tourism.

Through my work, I channel this passion to fulfill the dreams of my fellow travelers, crafting bespoke experiences that unveil the essence of India's rich culture and vibrant festivals.

I  recently completed my bachelor's degree at the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management. Driven by a deep passion for adventure and travel, I began my career in the travel industry in 2019. My enthusiasm for exploring new destinations and immersing myself in different cultures has greatly influenced my choice of profession.
I have spent nearly two years working with Nepal Airlines Corporation, where I gained valuable experience and developed a profound appreciation for the dynamic nature of the travel industry. The excitement of discovering new places and the thrill of adventure are integral to who I am.

As an avid travel enthusiast, I plunged into the world of travel immediately after graduating from college in 2018, stepping into the role of a trip planner. Southeast Asia is my favorite region! With personal visits from time to time, I gather rich experiences for travel in the countries of Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, and using these experiences to help travelers curate their trips to these destinations. Have you any plans to visit these destinations? Whether you're dreaming of a solo trip, a honeymoon holiday, or a local immersion, count on me to make it happen!

I was born and raised in Solukhumbu, in the Lower Everest region. Hearing this, people often ask if I’ve climbed Mount Everest (sarcastically). Well, not yet! But I take great pride in having organised numerous treks to Everest and many other breathtaking destinations across Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan.

As an avid traveller, one of my favourite adventures so far has been a motorbiking tour to Mustang with friends. I'm also a passionate foodie who loves discovering new flavours wherever I go. I can't wait to share some of Nepal’s best dishes with you!

Currently, I’m studying Tourism in college(Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management) while working in the field I love.
