Hi, I’m Prasan—a licensed tour leader and wellness guide from Nepal, currently I am in Hamilton, New Zealand.
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 Nepal’s beauty—both outside and within.

I’ve been working as a trekking and tour guide in Nepal for the past 8 years, and I’ve been involved in the tourism industry for over 12 years. During this time, I’ve traveled to many parts of Nepal, including its most popular tour and trekking destinations. For Instance:

Whether it’s planning a trek, cultural tour, or a mindful wellness retreat, I am dedicated to making every journey unforgettable and meaningful.

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 of $250 per month, while my mother took care of the home and worked as a farmer. Despite limited resources, we never struggled for food, thanks to our small plot of land where we grew rice and vegetables.

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 Bachelor’s 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 basic yoga, sound healing, and meditation—not 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 itineraries—it’s about people. You must truly enjoy connecting with people from all backgrounds, listening to them, caring for them, and offering meaningful insights. That’s the true nature of guiding.

If you’re looking for a professional, loyal, and compassionate guide who can deliver unforgettable tours and wellness experiences—whether for individuals, couples, or special groups—you’ve come to the right place. I’ll take care of all your travel needs with honesty, detail, and warmth. I also assist in creating customized travel plans, including sightseeing, adventure, wellness sessions, transportation, and any other services you may need.


📍 Currently in New Zealand

I now live in Hamilton, New Zealand. With my deep knowledge of Nepal and years of experience in travel and wellness, I aim to help New Zealand and Australian travellers plan meaningful trips to Nepal. I also offer travel consultation, trip planning, wellness retreats, and services for travellers or individuals seeking to connect with the essence of Nepal.


Why Travel With Me?

I’m not a big travel company—I’m an independent tour, trekking, and wellness guide with over 10 years of experience in Nepal’s tourism industry. I specialize in authentic, personalized experiences through trekking, cultural exploration, and wellness journeys like yoga, meditation, and sound healing.

I work with a small, trusted network of licensed local partners to ensure your trip is professionally organized, fairly priced, and personally guided. Every day, I bring fresh energy to my work—sharing new topics, stories, and insights to enrich your travel experience.

With me, you’ll receive:

  • A wellness-focused, mindful approach to travel
  • Deep local knowledge and real cultural connection
  • Responsible tourism that directly supports local communities
  • Socially Responsible Tour Guide
  • Guidance from someone who truly lives and loves this work.

Whether you’re trekking to the mountains or seeking peace on a wellness journey, I’ll be there to guide you—with heart, honesty, and purpose.
