Hi, Iโm Prasanโ founder of Travel Umpire, a licensed tour leader and wellness guide from Nepal.
I grew up in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, where my passion for guiding began. With over 10 years of experience in cultural tours and trekking, and since 2021, yoga, sound healing, and meditation, I help people explore Nepalโs beautyโboth outside and within.

Iโve been working as a trekking and tour guide in Nepal for the past 10 years, and Iโve been involved in the tourism industry for over 12 years. During this time, Iโve travelled to many parts of Nepal, including its most popular tour and trekking destinations.

My Career’s Short History
After finishing school in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, I moved to Kathmandu for higher education. My father, a dedicated teacher, supported our entire family on a small income, while my mother took care of the home and worked as a farmer.
Life in Kathmandu was tough. Managing rent and college fees pushed me to start working in tourism. I began my journey in the industry as a trekking porter and, after two years of hard work, earned my trekking guide license in 2012. While guiding treks, I also completed my Bachelorโs in Business Studies (BBS). After graduation, I became a certified tour guide, passing the training with excellent marks (A-GRADE).
Over time, I grew into a trusted tour and trekking guide, leading clients across Nepal’s mountains, heritage sites, and off-the-beaten-path trails. I now specialize in:
- Cultural & Historical Tours
- Trekking & Hiking Adventures
- Eco-Tourism & Jungle Safaris
- Helicopter Tours & Religious Journeys
- Leisure & Luxury Travel for individuals and groups
In 2021, I expanded my path to include wellness. I trained as a wellness guide, focusing on gentle yoga, sound healing, and meditationโnot just as a personal healing journey but also as an offering to travelers seeking inner peace alongside outer exploration. These sessions can be combined with any travel experience for a more mindful, balanced journey.

I believe that a great tour comes from the heart of a genuine guide. This job is not just about routes and itinerariesโitโs about people. You must truly enjoy connecting with people from all backgrounds, listening to them, caring for them, and offering meaningful insights. Thatโs the true nature of guiding.

Weโll take care of all your travel needs with honesty, detail, and warmth. We also assist in creating customized travel plans, including sightseeing, adventure, wellness sessions, transportation, and any other services you may need.
