In this episode of The Porter Voices Podcast, we feature Sushila Acharya, a pioneering woman in Nepal's trekking industry whose remarkable journey spans more than two decades—from carrying loads as a porter to becoming a trekking guide and eventually founding her own travel company.Originally from the remote mountain district of Jumla, Sushila left home in search of opportunities that were largely unavailable to women in her community. Alongside her friend and fellow trailblazer Durga Rawal, featured in Episodes 1–3, she made the life-changing journey to Pokhara to pursue a future in Nepal's tourism industry.What followed was years of hard work, sacrifice, and determination.Sushila shares the realities of working as a female porter in an industry dominated by men, the challenges she faced while building a career in the mountains, and the resilience required to continue when few people believed in her path. For many years, her parents opposed her decision to work in trekking and tourism, hoping she would follow a more traditional role. Yet Sushila remained committed to her dream.Over time, her persistence paid off—not only did she build a successful career as a guide, but she also earned the respect and acceptance of her family, who eventually came to support the path she had chosen.Today, Sushila is the founder of her own travel company and serves as an inspiration to a new generation of women entering Nepal's adventure tourism industry. Her story reflects the determination, resilience, and leadership of women who are helping reshape Nepal's mountain tourism sector.The Porter Voices Podcast amplifies the stories of porters, guides, and mountain workers whose labor and leadership make adventure travel possible. Through authentic storytelling, we explore workforce equity, gender inclusion, human rights, and the evolving future of mountain tourism around the world.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others who believe in creating a more equitable and inclusive future for mountain communities and tourism workers.Learn more about our work and subscribe:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.theportervoicecollective.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support women guides and help us amplify more mountain voices: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DONATE NOW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Want to partner/collaborate with PVC?
