She is a 19-year old girl lived at Pokhara. With a total of six family members, She lives with her grandmother, father, mother, elder and younger sisters. Her family has to listen lifelong from the society that daughters lack social support in old age and are burdened with the responsibility of saving for a dowry on their wedding. Her parents, on the other hand, believe that if girls are educated and work hard they will achieve something. Her mother began working with her father in tailoring as her and her sisters' needs and expenses grew as they grow older. Her parents go to work early in the morning, and she and her sisters go to school while doing all of the household chores. After completing her +12, she wants to take Female Trekking Guide Training like her elder sister while continuing higher education to enable economic support for the family, and on Jan 2021 she enrolled in Female Trekking Guide Training organized by Empowering Women of Nepal to enhance her capabilities, confidence and financial independence just like her elder sisters.
