Not having a mattress to sleep on, sharing a small room with few other friends and worrying about how to cover college fees were some of the painful circumstances he experienced. Regardless of and in spite of these challenges, Gopal succeeded in completing his course, and reaped the benefits of developing into a strong, independent and kindhearted person.

Although Gopal had no support during his try to build up his experience in the travel industry, he started his work in the travel industry from being as a porter. He persevered, and after years of hard work he finally reached his goal of opening his own travel company, Higher Limits Trek & Expedition. He is now happy that he is able to provide jobs to people who were in the same situation as him and played his part to support to those who need it the most.
