A life of complete harmony with nature

Sikles-born Hum Bahadur Gurung, currently serving as the Asia Partnership Manager in BirdLife International, Singapore, recounts his four decades in nature conservation.

Hum Bahadur Gurung was born in Sikles, Kaski, in 1965. The village is situated at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. Gurung remembers climbing trees and plucking fruits while living there, and this, he says, laid the foundation for his love for nature. Later, he pursued his high school studies at Amar Singh High School in Pokhara.
