STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – NISHALYA JUNG RAYAMAJHI

Nishalya Jung Rayamajhi’s golf journey began at the age of 16 at Royal Nepal Golf Club. What started as curiosity soon turned into purpose, all thanks to the person he credits most, his coach and mentor, Sachin P. Bhattarai.

“Everything I’ve achieved in golf, I owe to Sachin sir,” Nishalya says with pride. “He didn’t just teach me the swing; he shaped the way I think, the way I handle pressure, and the way I carry myself both on and off the course.” Under Bhattarai’s dedicated guidance, Nishalya found himself drawn deeply into the sport. Golf became more than just a game, it became a mirror of life: full of challenges, victories, setbacks and growth. Through it all, it was Bhattarai’s consistent mentorship that gave him the confidence to push forward and the discipline to improve.

With hard work and unwavering support, Nishalya’s journey led him to an incredible milestone: an opportunity to play collegiate golf at a Division II college in the United States. Competing at this level while pursuing his education has been a dream come true, and one he believes wouldn’t have been possible without his coach’s belief in him. Looking ahead, Nishalya remains committed to taking his game even further. “With Sachin sir by my side, I know I’ll always be learning, always growing,” he says. “I want to keep pushing my limits, and one day, give back to the game just as he gave to me.”

From his early days at RNGC to the collegiate fairways abroad, Nishalya’s journey is a testament to what can be achieved when passion meets the right mentorship.
