About Akanshya
Travel came early into Akanshya’s life. Moving to a different country at just six years old may not have been the most recreational experience, but it sparked a lifelong wanderlust. For Akanshya, travel is more than just ticking destinations off a list—it’s about immersing herself in diverse cultures, trying thrilling activities, meeting new people, and, most importantly, indulging in local cuisines.
Never one to shy away from new experiences, Akanshya is always ready to dive headfirst into her next adventure.
Akanshya's unique travel experience
One of my most memorable and unique travel experience would have to be traveling to Lomanthang. It really felt like stepping onto another planet—Mars, to be precise. Its secluded sandy mountains and the remnants of an ancient kingdom created an otherworldly charm unlike anything I’d ever seen. Despite the isolation, or perhaps because of it, I found a unique sense of freedom in the solitude. What truly set the experience apart was the sheer purity of the air—a sharp contrast to a lifetime spent in Kathmandu’s bustling chaos.
