Who We Are
Bhaktapur Experiences is rooted in care, connection, and culture. Founded by Sanjib, a Bhaktapur native with deep personal and professional ties to both Nepal and the United States, we offer concierge-style support for international medical travelers, along with immersive culinary experiences that celebrate Nepali heritage.
Sanjib was born and raised in Bhaktapur, where he first learned the importance of family, food, and community. After marrying his American wife, he moved to the U.S. and completed culinary school in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, he has become fluent in navigating both the American and Nepali healthcare systems—advocating for his mother in Nepal, who lives with chronic conditions, and helping his wife manage her own long-term care while living abroad.
Through these lived experiences, Sanjib saw how confusing and overwhelming medical travel can be—especially across cultures and languages. Bhaktapur Experiences was created to make that journey easier, more supportive, and more human. With a deep understanding of the needs of patients and their families, Sanjib and his team now help others access high-quality care in Nepal with clarity and confidence.
Originally launched as a culinary experience company, Bhaktapur Experiences continues to offer cooking classes and traditional Newari feasts—led by Sanjib himself—connecting guests to the flavors, stories, and warmth of his hometown.
Whether you're traveling for medical care or cultural enrichment, Bhaktapur Experiences is here to guide you with compassion, integrity, and local insight.
