Hello there! My name is Ankit Babu Adhikari and I am a writer, journalist, and social science researcher based in Kathmandu, Nepal. My first-but-not-last book 'Sherpa: Stories of Life and Death from the Forgotten Guardians of Everest' is coming out on July 27, 2022, from Hachette/ Octopus, the UK. I have worked with national dailies The Kathmandu Post and The Himalayan Times. My works have also appeared in The Washington Post and Asian Geographic. If you google me, you may find strange feeds to songs and profiles featuring my name. Don't get confused - it's me. I am a passion-driven musician and singer. I rarely tweet @AnkitAdhikari01
