Mr. Raj Dhamala is one of the founding members as well as a country representative. He has been exploring the Nepal tourism sector for two decades, having secured a trekking guide license from Nepal's tourism ministry. With more than a decade of experience in the trekking and tourism industry, he founded Greater Himalaya Pvt. Ltd. He enjoys organizing trips for people that enthrall and delight them, but he has always tried to make the tourism industry more compassionate and sustainable.

In regards to his background, Mr. Dhamala grew up in the Dhading district of Nepal, in the village of Shankosh, which offered a magnificent view of the mountains. As a result, he has always been enamored with these magnificent peaks. However, coming from a working-class rural family, in the very beginning he worked as a domestic helper in his pre-teen years. Despite the hardships in his life, he worked hard to obtain an educational qualification as well as a promising future. He eventually relocated to Kathmandu, and it was this man's affection for mountains, as well as his willingness to share this love with travelers from all over the world, that led to the founding of Greater Himalaya. With the professionally run travel system, the company specializes in organizing Adventure, Cultural, Religious, Hill Station, Wildlife, and Great Himalayas tours in Nepal, India, Bhutan and Tibet through a vast network as well as provides travel planning, itinerary design, hotel bookings, ticket reservations, and transportation services. It further offers holiday packages that are tailored to the needs and budgets of its customers

Talking in depth of the initial phase, Mr. Dhamala began his career as a trekking and climbing porter when he was a teenager navigating the remote Himalayas. He then worked as a porter for a few years before gradually enrolling in classes for trekking, cooking, bartending, and a variety of other skills. After passing the Nepal Government's exams, Mr. Dhamala was promoted to helper, assistant guide, junior guide, and fully authorized guide. He went on to work as a tour guide in Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, and India. In 2009, he founded an agency and became the founder-director of a prosperous company, owing to his hard work and commitment with the task of making people happy via various adventures.

Apart from this, Mr. Dhamala has also been deeply engaged in social causes, primarily in his hometown, providing scholarships for underprivileged students and assisting in the construction of facilities such as water supply and school buildings, among other things. Raj was able to collect funds from well-wishers all over the world for the earthquake victims in Dhading and Gorkha districts, as well as provide supplies to the earthquake victims. He has further been personally involved in aiding the victims' recovery and offering medical assistance.

In addition to this, Mr. Dhamala has also been involved in social organizations and has served in the Training and HR department of the Nepal Trekking Agencies Association (TAAN). Moreover, he was also elected to the Executive Board of the Village Tourism Promotion Forum Nepal (VITOF-NEPAL) and is now the Treasurer of the VITOF Nepal headquarters.
