Dentist, health advocate and Miss Nepal Earth 2024, Sumana KC believes life is shaped not by perfection, but by the experiences that challenge, inspire and transform us. Passionate about the intersection of health, climate change and women’s wellbeing, she brings the same sense of curiosity and authenticity to her personal life as she does to her advocacy.
In this edition of Life’s Beautiful, she shares the simple joys that ground her, the daily habits she lives by, and the philosophy that continues to guide her journey.
