About Me

I was born in hills of mahabharata but as a kid my family was moved to bardiya, thakurdwara. Tharus are local habitants of this area. But i recall there were not more than a dozen homes. As i grew with local people i am bound to tharus with blood and veins. Although here are so many tharus migrated from other places i consider myself connect to roots than so many local people. BNP was my playground as grew; a bare cattle grazing place. The dense forest and big old trees must have some old but fresh memories. As young and rebel i wondered various places from nepal and india but my ties were connected this place so i couldn’t resist to returned. However all those ventures came handy to my interest as nature guide.
