In his early days, Kumar had to walk for hours to reach his school, passing through small villages, hills, and rivers with beautiful views of snow-capped mountains along the way. This sparked his curiosity about the rest of the country and its culture, leading him to develop a strong interest in learning about new places and meeting new people.
After he completed high school, he started his career as a trekking guide due to his passion for nature, culture, and adventure. Over the course of time, he has received extensive training in mountain safety, trekking, and cultural guiding. Kumar has led several groups on treks to popular regions like Annapurna, Everest, and Langtang, showcasing his expertise as a trekking guide. Furthermore, he is equally well-versed in the cultural attractions of Nepal, serving as a cultural guide as well.
Joining Wind Horse Tours as a Nepal partner was a significant milestone in his career. Kumar believes that working as a guide not only allows him to explore the beauty of Nepal but also provides ample opportunities to immerse himself in the diverse cultures of the country. In his leisure time, he enjoys hanging out with friends and continuing his explorations. He is excited about the prospect of traveling and discovering new places beyond Nepal in the future.
What Our Guest Says about the guide

27th April-4th May, 2024Well managed and organized Trek in Langtang Valley
A group of 8 us, completed the Langtang Valley trek, towards the end of April 2024. The trip was arranged with Wind Horse Tours, and very well organized and planned by Heera Lama, in the Kathmandu office. We decided on doing the trek over 5 days, against the advice of Heera, who recommended 6. He was right! Our able guide was Kumar, who more than competent in looking after our needs. The only comment we had was it might have been better to have an assistant guide as well, to cope with the stragglers, on the longer sections. Me being one of them.
Although it’s a short trek, there is plenty of amazing scenery to take in, which was well explained by Kumar. At the turning point of the trek in Kyanjin Ri, you should visit the Dorje Bakery Café & Coffee Centre. They have a great selection of breads, cakes and pastries to savor, along with the lovely coffee they serve. The sign in the shop reads: The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe, eat cake!
On the return leg we stayed at an excellent choice of accommodation, in Langtang Village, from Wind Horse. It is called Traveler’s Guest House. The kitchen and dining area are on the top floor giving great views of the surrounding countyside and mountains, as far as Tibet. The kitchen is spotless and incredibly well organized. One of the best I have stayed in. They also made a great choice of accommodation at the start and end, at the Nepali Ghar Hotel, in Thamel, in the heart of Kathmandu. The place has real character, and well positioned. All in all a very enjoyable and well organised and managed trek by Wind Horse Tours.
