BHM Batch 2019 • StudentSilver Mountain is a place which has turned me into a better person. I’ve been an introvert all my life. After I joined SMSH, I’ve got to know my capabilities. Now I’m a better version of myself all thanks to our lovely teachers who encourage us to do better and teach us everything in a new manner. Here, they don’t believe in teaching only from textbooks. “Freedom with responsibility’s it says we are free to share our views/problems without the fear of getting judged or yelled at. Everyone here is calm and composed. Each one of them has an important role to play in our 4 years journey. Some inspire you and some encourage you to do better. Moreover, it’s a family for which I’m going to be grateful for the rest of my life.

BHM Batch 2018 • Hospitality IndustryFreedom with responsibility" the motto of Silver Mountain clearly reflects that it provides its students independence in perusing their career abiding them with certain responsibilities. Being a science student on high school, the course was really a new to me. With the guidance of teaching and non teaching staff members I got easily blended with the course and its environment. Silver Mountain not only provides practical and theoretical knowledge, it also focuses on enhancing the grooming standards of the students required to succeed in this industry. It has been more than a year at Silver Mountain and I have never regretted my decision on joining this college.

BHM Batch 2017 • The Westin Langkawi Resort &Spa, MalaysiaBeing a part of a prestigious institution such as Silver Mountain School of Hotel Management is an achievement in itself. Having already worked in small scale restaurants and burger shop for few years before joining Silver Mountain, I had a rough idea of what industry I was getting into. But this rough idea got expanded and shaped up significantly with my time in Silver Mountain. The syllabus along with the practical classes of the school was very knowledgeable, implementable and lifelong skills and also the teachers were well experienced which made the learning process much easier. Looking back now, Silver Mountain has definitely helped me grow both as a person and a professional.

Samiksha Siwakoti
BHM Batch 2017 • Hotel Radission, NepalI have always wanted to join Silver Mountain after completing my high school because of its highly appreciated name and reputation it has built over the years. But, what I did not know about Silver Mountain before apart from its highly appreciated name is that it runs efficient practical classes in well equipped kitchen, restaurant, wine lab and coffee lab. Silver Mountain holds its value more because of the intangible assets like the feeling of the responsibility provided with desired freedom. The level of learning and belief Silver Mountain team has put in us has pushed me beyond my limits. I feel grown, mature and more responsible being here.

BHM Batch 2017 • Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa, UAEIt feels like yesterday when I joined Silver Mountain School of Hotel Management; one of the best hotel management schools in Nepal which provides foreign degree (Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh-UK). SMSH has given us the best education, skills, leadership training and accepting capabilities to deal with any kind of problems that we may have to face in our lives along with the responsibilities. Every single day in school, it always makes me feel like I'm in the right track to my goal of becoming an entrepreneur. Every new skill may be difficult and hard to learn but if you keep the willingness to be a beginner every single day then for sure it will be worth.

From a less confident and an introvert person, Silver Mountain has always helped me a lot to refine my abilities and skills to be a better person everyday and helped in overall growth as an individual as well. Learning and growing in Silver Mountain has been a blessing with all the supportive and motivating faculty members that one could ever have. I am surely going to miss everything about Silver Mountain and I hope to take all the learning that I got with me on my new journey that I am about to embark on.

Likewise, through Silver Mountain I got an opportunity to do my internships abroad with one of the finest resort named Andaman: a luxury collection resort in Langkawi. All special thanks to Silver Mountain School of Hotel Management, team academics, lecturers and all the staff for friendliness environment and endless support.
