Pratek Man Tuladhar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pratek Man Tuladhar (Nepali: प्रत्येकमान तुलाधर) (1924–1991) was a Nepalese trader and philatelist. Born in Kathmandu into a family of hereditary merchants, he spent his youth in Lhasa, Tibet, where they owned a business house.
During his stay in Tibet (1939–1960), alongside his main occupation of conducting trade between India, Nepal and Tibet, he developed an avid interest in collecting photographs, postage stamps and coins.[1][2]
Tuladhar also corresponded with penpals around the world.[3] As a rare letter writer from Tibet, his name became renowned worldwide among philatelists. His letters bearing Tibetan stamps delighted his foreign friends, and today they have become major resources for collectors specializing in Tibetan postal history.[4][5]
