Message From The President
Namaste!
It is a great pleasure and honor as the Chairman of Himalayan Sherpa Adventure to welcome you to Nepal– the land of vibrant cultures, picturesque landscapes, beautiful ethnic groups, and unique charm. Often referred to as the nation of smiling and hospitable people, we look forward to welcoming you to visit this land of amazing destinations, and to have a first-hand experience of the unique lifestyles found in the different regions of Nepal.
When I was a kid, my family ran a small tea shop in a village called Kyongma, Lukla, which fell en route to Mount Everest. I often witnessed foreigners trekking in the Himalayan region carrying cameras, well-equipped trekking gear with big backpacks filled with essentials. Watching the tourists visit my country, fueled my curiosity about their comfortable style of travel. It was a gradual realization that education was a key component of having access to travel with convenience. I spent my childhood attending school during the weekdays and working as an assistant guide, earning pocket money during holidays. With limited access to education in the Khumbu area, I migrated to Kathmandu to pursue higher education. Prioritizing academics and mountaineering work in parallel, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and English Literature, followed by a Master's Degree in Sociology from Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu in 1990. It was after this that I decided to establish Himalayan Sherpa Adventure in 1992 with the vision to show my country the way it was meant to be.
I have traveled extensively in Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and India to research mountain tourism, and I noted that culture is a big part of the business. Next, I traveled to several countries in Europe, North America, Middle East, and Asia to learn about their cultures to better understand the needs of our clients. With these combined knowledge and expertise of my staff, our company has emerged as one of the most prominent companies in the trekking industry of Nepal. Today, we partner with many other travel companies around the world and I am forever grateful towards them. It is through your travel that has helped us reach to this height and also help our community. I have always believed that travel should benefit the places, its people and the nature and through our Himalayan Sherpa Foundation, we have been able to do so. We understand our social responsibility and we are committed to make travel impactful towards our community and the environment.
We invite you to join us, and experience the journey of a lifetime.
