"One of the experienced climbers from Trekking Planner Nepal, Mr. Sonam."
Hello, I am Sonam Jangbu Sherpa, originally from Okhaldhunga Khiji Dhemba and now residing in Kathmandu, Nepal. Being a sherpa, I had a strong passion for going towards the mountains professionally, working in trekking planner Nepal as a climber and guide for the past 4 years. Started climbing professionally at the early age of 21 as a sherpa and worked all the way up to being a guide. Some talents that I possess are fluency in English, climbing, and trekking. I was a monk when I was a child, at the age of 9, and I was a monk till the age of 17.
Since the early age i had an extreme passion towards mountaineering and trekking being a sherpa seeing my elderes and brother i was always desperate myself to go there. My father used to work in the same field as trekking and mountaineering, and as a son, I even wanted to carry on the legacy. My younger brother is even working as a guide in the Khumbu region.
I got my climbing license from the Khumbu Climbing Center, which is located in Phortse, my guide license from Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management (NATHM), and first aid training from KEEP (Kathmandu Environmental Education Project). Supporting and promoting sustainable tourism and development along the Khumbu region has been one of my main motives for the past five years.
