Balaram Thapa

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Travel and Tourism from Tribhuwan University, and in 2000, I entered the Tourism industry by working as a trekking porter for two years, and then working as a trekking guide and team leader for six years.

In 2009 I decided it was time to open up my own business, Nepal Hiking Team: a premier tour and trekking agency in Nepal where I'm a consultant and an Executive Director. My favorite quote: "Travel is not only my profession, it's my passion." I enjoy encouraging my clients to try new and unique destinations.

In the near future, I plan to visit different countries and attend various travel expos to promote and expand Nepal Hiking Team. I also enjoy spending time at the Jyamrung Public Welfare Society working as a General Secretary in social work.
