Tourist Guide…..

I worked as a tourist guide for Ghandruk Tour and Travel Pokhara. I got this from my Uncle Friend who had been working in tourist line from 12 years. I don’t want to be a professional tourist guide but to visit some places, to earn money and to spend the vacation after completion of higher secondary education.

My main task was to make the trip of the foreign visitors as enjoyable as possible. They have many questions on their mind about Nepalese culture, arts, architecture and Himalayas. I had to answer all of them and satisfy them.

On many clear days in the season I have get up early in the morning and go to sarangkot with the tourists to show them the sunrise. They are very much enchanted by the beauty of the first rays of the sun on the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna and Some other snowy peaks. The most of the morning and evening I spend showing them different places like Begnas Taal, Shanti stupa, Seti George, Patale chhango(Davis Fall), Gupteshwar Gufa, Chamere Gufa, Barahi Temple and many other places. Most of the like to boating on Fewa Lake in Morning and evening. Sometimes I had been gone to Kathmandu, Lumbini, Chitwan, Jomsom, Annapurna Base Camp etc.

A good working knowledge Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and English has helped me to talk with different kind of tourist. My study of the Nepalese religion, art, and architecture satisfies the curiosity of the visitors. I had to deal with various problem and difficult situations that arose during tour-Mistakes in hotel booking, loss passport, illness, etc. I find that kind of work interesting and enjoyable. I have had a good relationship with the clients who have been in my care.
