I was born in Namche Bazar of Solukhumbu district. My father expired when I was only 3 years old. So My mother slogged a lot to raise us. I have an elder sister and a small sister. In BS 2034, my mother brought us to Kathmandu and I continued my education here. She ran a restaurant and sold momos to make the ends meet. Everybody in my family and community respects her. She is a Goddess in our family and I adore her more then anything. Its all because of her that I have gained the present position in my life. Had she not been my mother, life would have not been that easy. I finished my college from Amrit Science college, Askal. I loved trekking and did a lot of it. After finishing my school, I went trekking. I started the trekking from Pokhra and it ended in jumla. I passed through the Jaljala and all the other mountains. After that I started working in Khumbila, which belonged to my uncle. I worked there for 3 years. So in March of 1995, I went to Kailash Mansarovar trek. During the trek I had to stop at Simikot for a week because of the weather condition. Therefore, we had to call a rescue flight from Nepalgunj. As soon as the helicopter landed at Simikot, I was thrilled. One of the pilot Captain Tashi Sherpa, was my friend. He took me into the cockpit and showed me all the things. It fascinated me a lot ! At that minute, I decided that I should learn to fly ! We returned back to kathmandu. And in April 1995, I went to Russia for my training. I came back to Nepal and started my career in 1997 with the Asian airlines. Then I flew M1-16 helicopter (made in Russia) for 8 years in Nepal. After that I got involved in tourism as well. I have a trekking agency also. I was a member of TAAN, under the presidentship of Jyoti Adhikari. So we worked there for 3 years. I worked in Air dynasty as well. Then in 2009, we got an opportunity to open a new company with the joint effort of my colleagues of 5 captains and one engineer. We established the Mountain helicopters. In 2010, we brought more 2 helicopters. So now we are doing the commercial flights with 3 helicopters all together. According to the data of Civil aviation of Nepal-CAAN, we stand at the number one position in the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 compare to other helicopter companies.
