Anisha Gurung, 24, from Jhapa is a national cyclist, trail runner, and solo traveler. It has been almost 5 years since she first started cycling. On the other hand, being a conscious consumer, Gurung has always supported sustainable practices. To spread the message on the importance of local products, she initiated her own local business.

She says, “Despite coming from a large family, I’ve been living alone for the past four years and I’m happy with how things are now.” The reason why she is living alone is that her childhood was tainted by her mother scolding her for even the smallest mistakes. It has just been 6 months since she has been able to manage traumas and chronic stress better.
