Mr. Panthi’s career in the tourism sector began in 2010 when he took on leadership roles in sales and marketing for tourism and hospitality ventures. His experience in promoting Nepal as a key destination for adventure and cultural tourism laid the groundwork for the establishment of Earth Nepal Holidays Pvt. Ltd. in 2016. Under his leadership, the company has grown to offer a wide array of services, from international ticketing to peak climbing expeditions and spiritual retreats. His ability to develop custom itineraries and provide specialized services has earned his company a reputation for delivering top-notch experiences, whether for short treks or extended pilgrimages.

Mr. Panthi’s most significant contribution to Nepal’s tourism industry is his focus on promoting spiritual and pilgrimage tourism, which leverages his deep expertise in Buddhist philosophy and astrology. Earth Nepal Holidays specializes in organizing tours to sacred sites such as the Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Lumbini, offering travelers not just a visit to these locations but a holistic spiritual experience. Mr. Panthi’s unique approach to spiritual tours integrates meditation sessions, astrology consultations, and immersive cultural experiences, helping participants connect with Nepal’s ancient spiritual traditions on a deeper level.

These spiritual tours have attracted not only individual pilgrims but also groups of spiritual seekers from around the world who are drawn to Nepal’s sacred energy. Mr. Panthi ensures that each tour is tailored to the specific spiritual needs and aspirations of the visitors, whether they seek peace, enlightenment, or personal growth. His company also arranges customized retreats designed for meditation practitioners and spiritual seekers who wish to spend time in quiet reflection and inner exploration in the serene landscapes of Nepal. This specialized focus has allowed Mr. Panthi to carve out a niche market for Earth Nepal Holidays, making it a go-to service for those looking to engage with the spiritual essence of Nepal. His deep personal involvement in these tours—drawing on his own knowledge of astrology and Buddhist philosophy—elevates the experience beyond a typical pilgrimage, offering travelers a truly transformative journey.

Mr. Panthi’s contributions extend well beyond the tourism industry into significant social and political spheres. He holds the esteemed position of President of the South Asian Astro-Federation (International/Central Committee), where he has been instrumental in promoting the study of astrology across South Asia. His leadership in this federation aligns with his professional focus on spiritual tourism, creating a cross-continental network that shares and promotes ancient spiritual knowledge. In addition, he is an active member of the Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Development Committee, under the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation. In this role, Mr. Panthi contributes to Nepal’s cultural and astrological preservation efforts, ensuring that traditional knowledge systems such as astrology remain a living, dynamic part of Nepalese society. His work in these areas has been critical in keeping Nepal’s cultural identity vibrant and in tune with modern tourism dynamic.
