What Nayan says
I started traveling when I was only 16 years old. It was my first time hiking solo in the Annapurna Circuit, 5500 meters. This was Tilicho and Annapurna Circuit Trek and I remember that it was not so easy as a young person who was just 16 and had no money, my parents were supportive for this online a lot of traditional parents in Nepal.
having good education and exposure since a young age aI had a chance to also do a lot of foreign tours, make international friends in the way which helped me to understand the tourism properly in a global level.
I wanted to do something in Nepal online lot of my friends who went abroad for studies and work, where as I started to climb mountains and experience new travel experiences and started exploring since a young age.
At the moment I have been to all the province in Nepal, 55+ districts out of 77 districts and been to 10 countries.
Before I turn 30, I want to go to all the districts of Nepal and all the seven continents of the world. Hopefully this dream will come true soon. Meanwhile I would also love to contribute for the tourism sector of Nepal, specially the environment and cleanliness of Mountains such as Everest Base Camp
What needs to change Nepal?
I want to make mountains affordable, this is why we do weekly fixed departure tours to build up mountaineering community, because most people thing that Nepal is an expensive destination, at least in the mountains which is not true. Me as a backpacker faced a lot of challenges while I was backpacking in outer countries, due to high cost of guides, porters and enormous profits made my travel companies, the packages seems expensive but for backpackers, there are various ways to make it cheaper. So toursbynayan, also aims to target back pages and hiking community with an objective to promote affordable and responsible hiking in Nepal.
At the same time I also believe that many luxury and spiritual experiences can be done in Nepal. Nepal is one of the spiritual designation along wi9th the other countries that surrounds Nepal like Bhutan, Tibet in China and India has a lot of spirituality.
the main objective me me starting this tour is to make the tours affordable fro tourists in Nepal at the same time encouraging the citizens of Nepal to travel more. I believe that traveling is one of the best thing that one can to and it is definitely much better that going to a college education
