Bishnu Bhatta, a travel industry expert and co-founder of Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure(HSA), believes that tourism is not just a profession but a deep passion. He holds a Business Management degree from Tribhuvan University and completed the Trek Guide Training Program at the Hotel Management and Tourism Training Centre in Kathmandu. With over 10 years of diverse experience in Nepal’s tourism and travel industry, Bishnu has developed a well-rounded skill set that has shaped his success in the field.
Born in the rural area of Gorkha and raised in Alkatar, a remote mountain village north-west of Kathmandu, Bishnu grew up walking 8 kilometers each day to school, surrounded by stunning views of terraced farms, waterfalls, and the majestic Himalayas. His childhood was filled with the warmth of local people and the beauty of nature, experiences that fueled his love for travel and adventure. Bishnu began his tourism career in a reputable hotel in Pokhara, where he honed his skills before co-founding HSA in 2015 with three partners. The goal was to offer authentic travel experiences to fellow adventure seekers.
Bishnu’s dedication to his work is unwavering. He continues to organize and coordinate trips and eagerly leads unique, out-of-the-box adventures tailored to specific clients. He is also deeply committed to ensuring HSA’s leadership in sustainable tourism and community development initiatives.
HSA’s motto reflects Bishnu’s vision: to provide exceptional service and experiences while ensuring they remain accessible for future generations. The company also focuses on creating educational and career opportunities for its staff and supporting programs that give back to Nepalese communities. Bishnu believes that with passion and ambition, HSA can reach new heights in global tourism, famously stating, “Nothing is impossible if we dare to dream big.”
