Hello! I'm Dev, a travel enthusiast and entrepreneur. My place is just a 5-minute walk from Central Lakeside, yet it's in a peaceful, nature-friendly area near the hills.

I live with my mother, but since she prepares meals at her shop, I can’t offer food to guests.

I enjoy meeting kind, curious, and intellectual travelers who respect others and keep things clean. Though I’m busy at my travel and trek office during the day, I love evening conversations about travel, culture, and life experiences. Please mention "Namaste Dhanyabad" in your request so I know you’ve read my profile. Looking forward to meeting great people!

While I run a travel and trek company, there's no obligation to book with me—I’m just happy to offer genuine advice if needed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love meeting kind, curious, and like-minded travelers from around the world. It’s a great way to exchange cultures, share experiences and connect with people beyond just being a host. While I’m often busy with work, I enjoy meaningful conversations in the evenings and helping travelers with local tips and insights about Nepal. Plus, I believe travel is more than just visiting places, it’s about the people you meet along the way.

Interests

I believe that the quest for happiness is the ultimate goal of life and the most important goal that can be undertaken. I find that pursuing our interests and passions leads to a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction. I insist that happiness is achieved through dedication and perseverance in pursuing things that one is genuinely interested in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love exploring other people's playlists and discovering new music. When it comes to reading, I’m a fan of novels by Paulo Coelho and Chetan Bhagat. I enjoy watching high-rated Hollywood and Bollywood movies, especially in the war, romance, and suspense genres. On weekends, I like to unwind by watching underrated films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Psey Phoksundo Lake in far-west Nepal with one of my Couchsurfing guests, experiencing the beauty of real Nepal away from the typical tourist spots.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you see how wonderful and precious life truly is. In return, I’d love to learn about different cultures and histories from people around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my local knowledge about Nepal, especially tips on hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots. I can also offer insights into Nepali culture and traditions, and share my experiences running a travel & trek company. If you're interested in meaningful conversations, we can chat about life, travel, and personal growth. I love meeting kind and curious travelers and exchanging ideas!
