Lisa Choegyal

Lisa Choegyal is a writer, traveller and sustainable tourism specialist who has made Kathmandu her home since she first arrived in 1974 to trek the Himalayan trails, and became captivated by the soaring peaks, low land jungles, diverse people and rich cultural traditions of Nepal. Still here, nearly fifty years and two half-Tibetan sons later, she spends her time trying to write, worrying about the Himalayan climate crisis, advising on ecotourism projects in Nepal and beyond, looking after Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge, tending to New Zealanders, and savouring the splendours of Nepal.
