Bohara was born in Salyan. As a child, he always wanted to join the army. However, after failing to succeed in the Army trials, he commenced his cricket journey representing the Nepalgunj [then region no. 5] U19 cricket team. He scalped seven wickets (three against Baitadi and four against Birgunj) in two matches for Nepalgunj in the 2014 National U19 Cricket Tournament and that, he believes, gave him more confidence in choosing cricket as a career option.

In January 2020, he was named in Nepal's One Day International (ODI) squad for the 2020 Nepal Tri-Nation Series.[12] He made his ODI debut for Nepal, against Oman, on 5 February 2020.[13] In September 2020, he was one of eighteen cricketers to be awarded with a central contract by the Cricket Association of Nepal.[14]
