About Me

For all of my life I have been dreaming about a big adventure, but after spending my youth in big cities for education and regular jobs, finally I'm settled in Baroo village of Kargil in Himalaya mountains and am running a hotel here, that gives me an opportunity to invite couchsurfers free of any charge. I am also a part of a socially responsible community named "rZamba project" which is devoted to improving education infrastructure along with social protection and support initiative in government schools in Kargil for the last few years. I live a peaceful life in my ancestral village with my wife and my kid, apart from running my hotel I enjoy farming on my homestead lands.
