What BHM students &
alumni actually say.
I came in shy and left running a 14-person kitchen brigade at a five-star property in Doha. Aarambha didn’t just teach me to cook — it taught me to lead. The internship was placed before I even finished sixth semester.
BHM ’23 · Sous Chef, Marriott Doha
The bar lab and kitchen lab are real — not simulations. By second year I already knew how to run a service shift properly. That’s what sets Aarambha BHM apart from other colleges in Chitwan.
BHM · 4th Semester student
The Hotel French course in first semester was something I never expected — and it opened my internship at a French-managed resort in Pokhara. Practical thinking from day one.
BHM ’24 · Front Office, Hyatt Regency
The fee transparency was the deciding factor. Everything published, no surprises in semester three. The scholarship rubric was honest — we knew exactly where we stood before enrolling.
