For him, travelling from time to time gives him peace. Till now, he has been to more than 50 districts of Nepal and says that the mountainous part of Sindhupalchowk was his best experience so far. Explaining about the best experience of his life, he shared, “I went to Kosrang village at Dhading district as a volunteer at a community school.


There, I had to cross a river everyday and I crossed the same river 21 times to complete my task of painting the school building. And since I was there for social service, I never felt discouraged or demotivated. And it was the best life experience so far.”
