Founder story
My name is Pasang Temba Sherpa. I have spent my entire life on these trails. My father was a guide on the early Everest expeditions, and my mother ran a small lodge in the Khumbu.
I grew up hearing stories of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, but more importantly, I grew up learning how to read the weather, how to recognise altitude sickness before it becomes fatal, and how to make a stranger feel like a guest in our house.
At the age of 16, I was leading groups. Now, after 35 years and more than 200 expeditions, I am still learning from these mountains every single day. Same as our Sherpas.

One mountain.
Many lives.
During the 2015 Nepal earthquake, Pasang Temba Sherpa was on Everest. He did not come down. He stayed to help survivors. That story is documented in the book Follow My Footsteps by Sara Safari and Jeffrey Kottler, published and sold on Amazon worldwide.
He also appears in documentary film. His work speaks for itself. We prefer to let it.

What they carry home.
“I have trekked on four continents. Nothing prepared me for Kala Patthar at dawn. Tenzin didn't just guide us — he translated the mountain. He knew every story, every peak name in three languages, every villager by name. When I was struggling at 5,000m, he simply walked beside me in silence until I found my breath again. That's not a service. That's a relationship.”
“I was nervous about doing this without an agency, then worried about doing it with the wrong one. A friend recommended Nepali Trekking. Our guide met us at the airport with a handwritten sign and a genuine smile. Eighteen days later, standing on Thorong La at 5,416m, I understood what "local knowledge" actually means. He knew where every piece of trail could be treacherous. He knew which teahouse had the best dal bhat. He knew when I needed to stop before I did.”
“I chose Langtang specifically because I wanted something real, not a tourist conveyor belt. Nima made it extraordinary. He took us to his family's rebuilt home, introduced us to his mother, showed us the memorial stones. It was deeply moving. The trek itself is spectacular — completely underrated. But Nima's presence transformed it into something I still dream about six months later.”
