A New Chapter: From Lukla to Birgunj

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve journeyed from the heights of Lukla to the vast plains of the Tarai, and I’m currently writing this from Birgunj. Life has taken an interesting turn as I’ve started working full-time with Jaleshwor Dai at his office. This new direction has opened up a world of travel opportunities. Earlier this week, I was in Pokhara for work, and now I’ve landed in Birgunj.

As I travel and grow through this work, I plan to write regularly about my experiences. I’ll be staying here for a few more days, visiting a few temples and sampling the local foods Birgunj is famous for.

For the past year and a half, I worked freelance, juggling sporadic projects in design and IT, while also tutoring a few students. The decision to take on a full-time job was driven by my desire for more stability—both in my personal life and career. Financially, I’m aiming to save a bit here and there to support my family more consistently. Beyond that, I’m certain this experience will help me grow by connecting with people from diverse fields.

Most of my new work revolves around procuring machinery and equipment from various parts of the world and supplying them to government bodies. However, I intend to keep this blog focused on my personal journey rather than my work. So, this will be the only post where I mention my job. Moving forward, I’ll be sharing more of my personal experiences along the way.

Here’s to new beginnings!
