Kumar Lamsal is one of the emerging tourism entrepreneurs in Nepal and also one of the founding members and managing director of Discover Altitude Treks. Born in the lap of the Annapurna region of Nepal, has served in the industry for more than a decade both in the mountain and the city as a trekking guide and tour leader.
He is motivated towards his profession as a tourism entrepreneur of the 21st century because of his deep knowledge about the sector and his interest in modern tourism. Starting his career as a porter in the Himalayas made him fascinated by the people's nature, culture, and lifestyle. All this knowledge made him conduct more research about the religion and lifestyle of the people, which helped him complete his graduation in sociology.
His keen interest in culture and religion led him to conduct his Ph.D. and still be a researcher in the field. He works as a volunteer for the people living in the Himalayas to strengthen their lifestyle through some income-generating sources. This made him build up the concept of Discover Altitude, where he can lead research scholars to introduce the new culture and region. His down-to-earth nature and friendly attitude towards travelers have led him to promote eco-tourism which mainly focuses on presenting the real local tourism of Nepal.
