Suman has been an amazing support for Global Angels. His company Explore Himalaya generously covered all the costs of my jump on the first Everest Skydive which made history as the first ever skydive in the Himalayas. Suman is an active member of our Advisory Board representing the charity in Nepal, and continues to sponsor us as the chosen charity partner of Explore Himalaya/Everest Skydive. As is an integral team member of Everest Skydive Angels, he is facilitating our aim to raise $1 million for disadvantaged children in Nepal and Asia over the next three years.
Suman is the President and founder of Explore Himalaya and has been actively involved in the travel & tourism business for almost 20 years. He actively dedicates himself in promoting the entire Himalayan region of Nepal, Tibet, India and Bhutan in the international tourism arena. His zeal and enthusiasm has led the company to touch new heights. Under his leadership, the company became the second highest foreign exchange earner in 2007, among adventure travel companies in Nepal.
