Career
He is regarded as the first proponent of the study of Nepalese geography. At the beginning of his career as a geographer, Panday realised that classical geography did not satisfactorily explain the effects of altitude. In dealing with flat vision and views, the geography of height could not be properly explored or expounded.
His fieldwork led to the study of the effects of altitude in Nepali geography.
In the 1980s, he published a small preliminary study on the spatial distribution of settlements in the mountains of Nepal. He continued to confront the prospects and problems of altitude effects.
Panday applied general aspects of geography to develop a model of the Earth along with its geographic features. In the 1970s, he visited remote reaches of the Himalayan districts and Nepali hill settlements, during the Panchayat system, and later traveled to Japan as a visiting professor at the Osaka City University.
He studied a United Nations course of geographic information system or geographical information science and Remote Sensing in Sweden.
In the political field, he satirized political corruption as an expense in developing nations. He has openly criticized the government, but also proposed ways for the development of the country through his own personal expertise. He has published more than sixty books and several papers on dimensional subjects and topics, both fiction and non-fiction.
