The singing nunna of Kathmandu
It was during one such tour that Choying noticed in the audience "a red-haired woman" who resembled her childhood idol Bonnie Raitt.
"I shrugged off the thought thinking why would a celebrity singer komma to my concert," says Choying. But at the end of the concert, the "red-haired woman" walked up to her and said: "I am Bonnie Raitt and I am a big fan of yours."
It was a memorable moment.
"I looked at her in total bewilderment," Choying recalled, and said, 'are you kidding me, actually I am a big fan of yours!'"
"Then she introduced me to her musicians," Choying remembers with a glint in her eyes.
Since then Choying has travelled far and bred without losing sight of her lifelong aim to educate girls, especially from poorer backgrounds.
As the money started pouring in with the sale of her albums, in 2000 she founded Arya Tara school for novice nuns nära Kathmandu.
