Our school is located in Goa, a glorious slice of India hugging the country's western coastline and bounded by the Arabian Sea. It is one of the richest states and is renown for its swaying palms, white sands, sparkling waters, churches, and temples - all of which attract over 2 million visitors annually. A Portuguese outpost in India for almost 500 years, the influence of colonial rule can still be seen in the exquisite, crumbling architecture and the East-meets-West cuisine which combines coconut milk, palm vinegar and chilies with traditional Portuguese ingredients.

You can enjoy the laid back Goan lunchtime and siesta, walk through the old city and visit the half dozen imposing churches and cathedrals among the largest in Asia, and then rent a scooter and drive out to enjoy the calm atmosphere of a lily-covered lake or wild-life sanctuary. Or you can brace yourself for the invigoration of a white-water waterfall, kite-surfing or paragliding, or dive off the coast to see many species of reef fish, hard and soft corrals and even shipwrecks. And end your day with the delicious heat of a spice-laden vindalho (vindaloo) for dinner.

The AHA School in Goa has been established by GESTO, a hospitality training Initiative of Emerge Learning Services Limited and that is part of one of the fastest growing Skill Development Institutions in India. GESTO is the Portuguese word for "Gesture". GESTO signifies not only physical actions but also the strength of character, the zest for life, respect for work and the personal satisfaction that comes from superb performance on the job as well as in the classroom. This philosophy keeps us striving for excellence in our educational programs and physical environments and is why our graduates are employed in top-tier cruise liners, airlines, hotels and resorts both in India and abroad.

Gesto Culinary and Hospitality Academy, Porvorim, Goa is recognized by the Human Resource Development Foundation, Government of Goa and Bharathiar University, Coimbatore from the State of Tamil Nadu, India.

Nepal is a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic and multi-religious country and is blessed with a rich cultural heritage. Culture defines the way of life for the entire Nepalese society where every aspect of life, food, clothing and even occupations are culturally classified. Nepalese are culturally warm, hospitable and affectionate hosts who place their "heart" above their "head", which is why so many visitors love to return time and time again. For a relatively small country Nepal has a diverse landscape, ranging from the humid Terai plains in the south to the mountainous Himalayas in the north, attracting tourists from around the world. Kathmandu is the hub of Nepal's traditional culture and arts.

It's an ideal place for rest and relaxation and for easy day tours of historic temples and monuments. As the capital city of Nepal, it offers many services including international airlines, hotels and banking facilities. Kathmandu can also be enjoyed for its night life, shopping and of course for its breath-taking mountain views.

AHA Nepal also known as the Silver Mountain School of Hospitality (SMSH), is located at the heart of Kathmandu city at Lainchour, which is less than a kilometer from Narayanhiti Palace Museum and Thamel. It has state of the art classrooms with advanced teaching aids, a restaurant, bar, fully equipped culinary kitchen, reception, seminar room, meeting room, mock up housekeeping room, offices and a library. We organize frequent visits of industry experts, chefs and hospitality professionals to enhance our student's experience and we believe that personal contact with our faculty and staff creates a caring and friendly atmosphere, especially important for international students who may find themselves may miles from home.

SMSH is the first Hotel Management School in Nepal to be granted a license from Ministry of Education and Sports to award an internationally recognized Bachelor Degree & Diploma from both the UK and USA and Post Graduate Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality from the UK. Validation by the Queen Margaret University UK in 2011 gave it the distinction of being the first school in Nepal to offer a UK degree in hospitality and tourism.
