The idea of running a trekking Company came to My mind after I  had spent nearly a decade in the tourism industry of Nepal.

I was working as a porter, guide, team leader, and trip planner influenced to materialize my experience of conducting trekking in the Himalayas. Me my self has served to the clients from North America, Europe, South East Asia, Pacific Region, Africa, and South America respectively. For me, it was necessary to run a local tour operator agency under mine own leadership to implement my mission, vision, and expertise all on my own. Thus, I was appointed a team of highly experienced trekking guides and other tourism enthusiast as workforce of NTR.

Amongst around 3,500 of tour and trekking operators in Nepal, NTR stands in the list of top tourism agencies due to its unique principle and functionality.
