I am honored to be designated as a Cultural Emissary for Inclusive (Rainbow) Tourism in Nepal by the Nepal Tourism Board. Nepal, with its rich matriarchal history predating patriarchy by 2500 years, continues to celebrate diversity through surviving matriarchal cultures, goddesses, gender non binary symbolisms, and inclusive rituals.

Officially recognizing three genders, endorsing Rainbow marriages, fostering a vibrant civil society, and embodying a consistently hospitable spirit, Nepal actively rejects discrimination against Rainbow/LGBTQ+ tourists. Our aim is to publicly declare Nepal as a warmly welcoming destination for all tourists, irrespective of their sexual orientation and gender identity.

We aspire to maintain Nepal’s authentic charm and refrain from becoming a sensationalized tourist spot. The goal is to offer Rainbow/LGBTQ+ tourists the same genuine experience enjoyed by other non-LGBTQ+ visitors. In Nepal, you can be yourself without any fear of discrimination. Whether you choose to embrace your Rainbow identity or take a break from stereotyped tourism, Nepal stands as your inclusive and rejuvenating destination.

To add a personal touch, I conduct Tantra Heritage guided tours for both individuals and larger groups, sharing my extensive knowledge about Nepal’s history, culture, symbolisms, festivals, rituals, lifestyles, food, and languages, as well as architectural marvels, rich traditions, and local narratives through Tantric (Matriarchal) Perspectives. By imparting personalized insights, I strive to bring our destination to life, creating memorable and immersive experiences that linger in the hearts of tourists.
