The meeting and handling was good. Mr. Kishan has been very helpful, good-natured and soft spoken. The itinerary was well planned.
Community Service
We work with the motto "Tourism for Development". Explore Himalaya Community Service Project was conceived to empower underprivileged segments of Nepal.
Thank you for promoting Tsum for Sustainable tourism. It is me who was the chief architect behind the Tsum Welfare Committee to send these Russian guys to break the little known corner of the Himalaya.
Cheers.
Sonam Lama, Secretary
