From 2011 to 2013, Achary attended Xavier Academy in Kathmandu, Nepal. He graduated from Sharda University in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India in May 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, from Nepal Engineering College in Bhaktapur, Bagmati in September 2020 with a master’s degree in construction management and Lincoln University College in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia in September 2022 with a master’s degree in business administration.
“Growing up in Kathmandu, I was fortunate to be raised in a family that believed in staying humble, working hard, and treating everyone with kindness,” Achary shared. “Those values became my compass, guiding every step long before I knew where the journey would lead.”
As a civil engineer, Achary found a purpose in building more than just structures. He explained, “Every building I’ve worked on, every hydropower site, is really just a promise poured in concrete—a promise that this community’s tomorrow will be better than its today.”
Through hospitality and sustainable resort development, Achary wants the world to discover Nepal’s beauty the way he does. He describes Poland as a nation with a history that reflects resilience, courage, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
“As our cultures meet on the global stage, I carry with me not only the pride of Nepal, but also a promise to lead with compassion, inspire through action, and leave every place better than I found it,” Achary declared. “It is the absolute honor of my life to proudly represent Nepal at Mister Supranational 2026.”
