Jaya Nath Bhandari

I am a licensed trekking guide based in Godawari, Lalitpur, Nepal. 3 decades over the years, I have guided travelers through Nepal’s natural and cultural landscapes and have developed a strong interest in responsible travel, nature, and conservation. I enjoy helping visitors experience Nepal at a comfortable pace while understanding the places, communities, landscapes, and natural environment they encounter along the journey. My work as a guide has also received international recognition. In 2018, I was included among the Top 100 Guides in the world in the tourHQ Global Guides Awards, based on traveler ratings on the platform. This recognition is meaningful to me because it reflects the experiences and feedback of travelers I have worked with. Trekking travel and Adventure, Nature and conservation are also important parts of my interests. I am associated with Bird Conservation Nepal as Patron No. 29 and Executive Board Member. This connection reflects my interest in Nepal’s wildlife, birdlife, and natural heritage, and I value tourism that encourages visitors to appreciate and respect the environment. I speak English and enjoy working with international travelers. Whether I am accompanying guests on a trekking journey, introducing them to Nepal’s landscapes, or helping them better understand the natural environment around them, I try to provide a friendly, responsible, and informative experience.
