Dipak Lamichhane
"Dedication and hard effort pay off; regardless of society, all you need to succeed is passion, dedication, and the willingness to tolerate defeat." Dipak Lamichhane
Mr. Dipak Lamichhane was born in the western part of Nepal, in the shadow of the Manaslu Himal. He came from a middle-class background where his father barely provided enough basic needs. He was taken to his uncle's place for further education and other needs, but things did not go as per planned. His situation emphasized the importance of hard effort, dedication, education, and the impact of financial problems. He completed his school level from Mahendra Jyoti School. He moved to Kathmandu after finishing high school to find job. He began working as a porter in the tourism industry in 1997. He became a legally recognized guide in 1999, after a two-year of great effort.
A strong principle was emphasized. He worked hard for more than 13 years as a trekking guide and made himself eligible to own a company. He established a new company “Trekking Planner Nepal.” And then the real journey begins.
What do you expect from a boy from a middle-class family? Nepal is a developing country, and the only choice for young people is to go overseas. Small loan to move abroad and work hard for the rest of your life. When Mr. Lamichhane established his company, digital promotion and digital marketing was at an all-time low in trend. People were technologically underdeveloped, making it difficult to conduct business. Even people who own their own businesses abandon them in order to expand abroad. Mr. Dipak Lamichhane, on the other hand, has the ability to face obstacles and difficulties, as well as the determination to work hard and the patience to wait for success.
Mr. Lamichhane has trekked on several prominent trekking routes, including Everest Region (Everest Base Camp trek more than 100 times), Annapurna Region, Langtang Region.
He is now a successful tourism entrepreneur. He is also involved in social activities. He did not have the opportunity to further his education, so his primary motivation is to deliver great education. He has also given several possibilities to women in the tourism industry. He has created an opportunity for women to receive training and serve as female guides and climbers. He inspires women to be self-sufficient. In addition, he established the "Deep-Dikshya Foundation" with the goal of educating children. He made the decision to provide quality education to children whose parents died in the mountains or who are physically disabled as a result of trekking.
Today he is source of inspiration for many others who wish to do different in their own country.

“Isn’t it true a field might be a mess until you find someone who is correct? I’m the person to whom you direct all of your problems to, because I love problems.” ABHISHEKH SINGH
Mr. Abhishekh Singh was born in the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. He belongs to decent family background with different mindset and thought. When you walk through a different stage in life, you start being described as a different person in life; that’s where the story began.
Mr. Singh passed his secondary level from Children’s Eternal Academy and high school from Orient College. Currently, he is pursuing his bachelor degree. He is skilled at playing guitar. He is versatile person with lots of extra knowledge in histories, mountains, World Wars, soccer, music, first aid, religions and culture of all over the world and so on. He is office representative but also a professional guide of “Trekking Planner Nepal.”
Mother Nature is something that heals the inner soul, and that's where the story begins, working as a porter, becoming an assistant, and going as a guide, and that's where everything begins.
As he walked through the trail between nature and the available services in the market, he realized the gap between the youth and the available terms in the market. A clicking occurred in the diverse mind, things began to change, and he realized the state of the country’s economic and youth conditions. Stepping inside the business occurred, and soon after that the mind clicked where he made a decision to devote my life to tourism so that his country could earn so much.With a broad knowledge of fields such as guiding photography, history, culture, religion, tradition, art, and artifacts, and most of the things required for travel and tourism, he now proudly say that he has involved in the industry and will be for the rest of his life.
