35+ Years Leading Himalayan Journeys

I am a native Nepalese (Sherpa) group leader with over 35 years of experience leading travel operations across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim. I began my career as a trekking guide and have travelled extensively throughout Central, Western and Eastern Tibet, including Everest Base Camp, as well as Bhutan and Nepal.

Originally from the Kalimpong region, I have a deep understanding of local history and culture and speak English, Tibetan and Nepali fluently. I personally ensure every client receives attentive care and seamless service from arrival to departure. References and letters of recommendation from past clients are available on request.

Himalayan Horizon is connected to the mountains not only through business, but through a long-standing personal relationship with Himalayan travel and exploration.

“Your Journey, Our Passion.”
Sikkim masked dance culture

The Story Behind The Masked Dances.

Legend traces the origin of CHAAM to ninth-century Tibet. King Ral-Pa-Che devoted himself to Buddhism, but after his murder his brother Lang Darma sought to eradicate the faith. A monk, Lama Pal Dorjee, approached the king disguised as a dancer and, during the performance, used a concealed bow and arrow to kill him before escaping.

The richly brocaded costumes and symbolic masks represent mythical beings and sacred Buddhist imagery. The dances are traditionally performed around the New Year and differ from monastery to monastery, yet their shared theme is the triumph of good over evil, the clearing of negative forces from the old year and the welcoming of peace, prosperity and good fortune.

The principal figure is Mahakala, whose presence invokes other deities. Ritual sequences may include the symbolic destruction of an effigy, signifying the removal of harmful forces and the union of wisdom, teaching and action within Vajrayana Buddhist tradition.
