Chandra has been living and working in outdoors sports since the late 1980s and he has trekked, paddled and rafted extensively throughout Nepal.  He has both worked professionally and explored personal goals outside of Nepal, on rivers and in the mountains, in fields such as ice-climbing in Norway, rafting in Japan and Canada and climbing and trekking in the USA.  

Much of Chandra’s expertise comes from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) in Wyoming, USA.  He is a registered instructor with Rescue3 International and SOLO School of Wilderness Medicine based in the USA. He works as the lead instructor in Wilderness First Aid, Swift-water and White-water Rescue. 

Having witnessed first hand the emphasis placed on outdoor education, rescue, first aid and professionalism in other countries, Chandra is determined to bring the same personal development skills to Nepal’s youth and tourism industry to ensure they are not denied the same well-rounded education and safety standards that are offered overseas.
