Hello/नमस्कार/¡Hola! Fellow guides, I am not new here but I haven't introduced myself yet. So this time I have managed a little time to introduce myself with this local guide world. First of all I would like to thank all local guides for being here, contributing to the map and thus revealing the world day by day.

1. Name: Bishowvijaya Pandey
2. Location: Kathmandu, Nepal
3. What do I love being a Local Guide: Every year approx. 800 thousand foreigners visit my nation. When I look around a map the most tourist destinations are already been there in the map. But there are more such areas of public concern like hospitals, schools, emergency services, security offices and a lot more which are, I think, mandatory in map & are still not included. Being a local guide I love to add them in the map. Also there are a lot of places over the country which are yet to be explored in the map. Since there is unmanaged urbanization so places are difficult to be found. So my sole intension is to ease the commune life and explore the nation over the world. I am in accordance with the motto of LG Connect: 'Spread the love and get some back'. Also the occurrence of devastating earthquake in 2015 made me feel the necessity of map a lot. Since a lot of guides are exploring the places so why not me. Contributing to the map is also being sociable more than before. I always love to be sociable.
4. I love to share: Photos, reviews and additional information of the places in a map. My opinions over the posts, experiences, achievements, posts helpful to new LGs, stories about the places and many more in LG forum.
5. How did I hear about Local Guides: Actually I am unsure how I entered here but I am sure that I am not here by any referral. Since 2 years ago I tried to add places in mapmaker but my contributions were denied. Then I left mapmaker. Later I thought to add birthplace to the map. At that time I found the new platform Google map. It fascinated me a lot.
6. Fun Fact About Me: I love to visit new places not even in group only but also alone too. I love to observe different realms of nature very closely. My subject of interest are Physics and literature. To be bearded sometimes is also my hobby.
