Software engineer by day. Photographer the rest of the time. A small collection of frames from Nepal — mountains that wake up early, cities that refuse to sleep, and people who make both worth photographing.
Nature · Landscape · Astro · Flower
First light grazes the Himalaya. The valley is still asleep under a quilt of cloud.
Two kittens, one frame, identical mischief. They held the pose for exactly 0.3 seconds.
A lone boat glides through a mirror of cypress and sky. The river barely notices.
Architecture · Real estate · Aerial
A rebuilt 1832 view tower, lost in the 2015 earthquake. Resilience, in concrete and brass.
Kathmandu's oldest clock tower. One man winds it every day so the city can keep its rhythm.
A symmetry only engineers and photographers fully appreciate. Manhattan winks back through the rigging.
Portrait · Headshot · Fashion
The pure essence of childhood — captured during a rural immersion camp.
A plate of lamps for Laxmi Puja. The whole household pauses to welcome the goddess.
Street · Candid
Adorned in Haku Patasi, playing the Dhimay at Kathmandu's biggest religious street festival.
Tika on his forehead, kurtha pressed, counting the blessings (and rupees) from elders.
A small figure, a big sky, and the satisfying tock of a well-struck drive somewhere off frame.
Reeled in dinner (or at least lunch). The fish disagrees with the framing.
Product · Event · Video
A one-person studio: laptop, lamps, and a whiteboard that says 'Incubate Nepal 2023'.
Behind the camera for a school video segment celebrating Women's Day.

Advocates gather, pamphlets in hand, demanding a full investigation into a widow's mysterious death.
A father drives a bus 14 hours a day so his children can stay in school.
We highschool student led a small team raising funds and distributing relief to families hit by a tornado in southern Nepal — over fifty households received essentials. We also worked with the Disaster Relief Force to put up temporary shelters. I learned that community is a verb.
Two days in a school in Nuwakot — cooking meals together, running classroom sessions, playing the kinds of games that don't need wifi. It changed how I think about access, opportunity, and the quiet weight of a village morning.
Twelve unranked frames from the camera roll. Some lakes, one airplane, a tent, and a guy who clearly owns one outfit. Treat it as a glimpse behind the portfolio.
I'm a software engineer from Nepal. My day job involves a lot of brackets, semicolons, and the occasional production incident. Photography is the opposite of all of that — analog instinct, no undo button, and a world that refuses to refactor itself for you.
I shoot to remember. Mostly people, mountains, and the in-between hours when a city decides what it wants to be that day. If something here made you smile, pause, or open a new tab to look up Kalinchowk, this site did its job.
