20 years ago today, Global Academy of Tourism and Hospitality Education (GATE), synonymous with the “Architect of Experience,” was established with a bold vision to transform hospitality education in Nepal.
For two incredible decades, Global Academy of Tourism and Hospitality Education (GATE) has stood as a symbol of opportunity, transformation, and excellence — empowering students from Nepal and 23 other nationalities to dream bigger, aim higher, and reach beyond borders. 🌍✨
From classrooms filled with ambition to international exposures that changed lives, every milestone of this remarkable journey has been shaped by the success stories of our students and the achievements of our proud family of 10,000+ alumni spread across the world. ❤️
Behind this vision stands Khem Lakai and his dedicated team, whose dream, courage, and leadership transformed an idea into an institution that continues to inspire generations. His vision created not just a college, but a gateway to endless possibilities.
Today, together with Nepal's leading luxury brand, Kathmandu, as our co-owner, we have become Soaltee GATE Academy and celebrate every student who dared to dream, every parent who trusted us with their future, every teacher who guided the way, every industry partner who stood beside us, and every achievement that became part of our story.
20 years of inspiring journeys.
20 years of unforgettable memories.
20 years of changing lives.
And this is only the beginning. ✨
