Company information

Once a city girl, now a mountain dweller (livin' in Himalayas for over 5+yrs), I've unearthed many of the region's hidden treasures. With a passion for exploration, I've traversed 10 countries, ultimately discovering that my heart lies in the mountains. As a testament to this love, I've converted a house into a retreat, brimming with the sound of nature, laughter of friends & melodies of birds. You can also check my travel journal.
