[2][3][4] Born in Lamjung, and educated in Kathmandu and Banaras, Ghimire had a career in literature spanning 86 years in which he wrote epic poems, plays and essays, composed popular songs like "Gaucha Geet Nepali" and "Nepali Hami Rahaula Kaha", and contributed to and edited literary journals and newspapers.

Ghimire was born on 7 Ashoj, 1976 BS or 23 September 1919 CE in a village named Bhirpustung in the Lamjung district of Nepal.

Upon his return from Varanasi (then Banaras), he worked as a writer for Bhashanubad Parishad, and later as a co-editor for Gorkhapatra in 1944.

It is believed that Ghimire was inspired and motivated by the works of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.
