After exploring Nepalese cultures and landscapes more in-depth to serve his customer he found himself developing an interest in Buddhism. Also, he noticed that many of the tourists showed curiosity and asked questions about Buddhism. So, he decided to pursue his education in Buddhist Studies. He completed one year Post Graduate Diploma from Tribhuvan University and Masters in Buddhism & Himalayan Studies from Lumbini Buddhist University.
