I am thrilled and honoured to be one of the 15 winners of the National Geographic Wayfinder Award 2024, presented by KIA. This is a dream come true moment, and I am excited to join the incredible NatGeo explorer community!
A huge thank to my team at Third Pole Conservancy and UKALI for supporting me every step of the way. This award is dedicated to my teammates, mentors, and our conservation partners for their unwavering support, and to the communities in Humla, Manang, and Mustang for their togetherness and support.
Finally, to all the young dreamers in Nepal who aspire to be wildlife explorers and conservationists: believe in yourself, have faith in your ideas, and never give up. You could be next!
