Janga Bahadur Lama was born in Simikot, Humla, one of the most remote and beautiful regions of Nepal.

After gaining over six years of experience in the hotel and travel industry, Janga co-founded Firante Treks in 2007 with a group of friends. The name “Firante,” meaning “wanderer,” reflects his passion for exploration and cultural connection.

In 2016, after a decade in the travel sector, Janga expanded his ventures into hospitality and food by establishing Humla Resort in Humla and Products Karnali Pvt. Ltd.

He continues this sacred tradition under the guidance of his Guru. In addition to his deep Buddhist practice, he is well-versed in Tibetan yoga, meditation, and retreat practices, offering a rich spiritual perspective to his journey.
