Lhundup was born in a nomadic family in Tibet. He grew up as a child with yaks and sheep on the vast meadows, but he had carried with an undying passion for learning new things and became an educated person. Therefore, he made up my mind against the consensus of his parents to make the daring journey to India where he believes he can make his dreams come true in addition to receiving the blessings of HH the 14th Dalai Lama.

It took him twenty days and twenty nights to cross the Himalayan border. He travelled on foot without much to eat. Once reaching to the Tibet Reception Center in Nepal, their first reaction was to take him to the hospital immediately to recuperate the damages caused to him by the Odyssey on barefoot.

Up to class X, he did schooling at TCV School Suja, an intermediate English medium boarding school in Himachal Pradesh, India. Through the life of education there, he did never cease burning the midnight oil for studies. Since writing and reading are his passion or hobby, he got awarded by my school and NGOs for many essays he wrote. In that recognition, his school sponsored him to publish his best-selected articles as a book, Seedling, in English when he was for the last year in the school. The book was loved by the students and got a second publication.

For XI and XII, I joined TCV Gopalpur for the study of humanity, and he again becomes the editor of the school magazine. However, he decided to leave the school due to personal reasons, but he completed his high school through National Open School.

Then, he applied to “Himalayan Initiative” for an opportunity to study abroad with scholarship. “Himalayan Initiative” helped him to get a full scholarship at Uppsala University, one of the best and the oldest universities in Europe. At Uppsala University, Lhundup completed his study in Social Studies, and now he is happily settled in Paris, the capital of France, and working on his profession.
