From the majestic landscapes of Nepal to the diverse communities that adorn its countryside, I, Ashish Shrestha, have always found inspiration in the uncharted terrains of my homeland. As a passionate filmmaker and avid traveler from Nepal, my journey began shortly after earning my Bachelor’s degree, when I ventured into the rural and Himalayan regions of Nepal. The sheer diversity of people, cultures, and landscapes I encountered sparked a fervent desire within me to share these unique stories with the world.
Self-taught through the resources available on the internet and insights from friends, I honed my skills in filmmaking, with a particular focus on cinematography and editing. My work is driven by a commitment to enhance my storytelling abilities, aiming to bring the untold stories of Nepal to a global audience.
An ardent lover of the outdoors, I relish the opportunity to explore new places, cuisines, cultures, and meet new people, continually broadening my horizon and deepening my work. As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to refine my craft, seeking to capture and portray the nuanced beauty of the world through the lens of my camera.
