Umesh Tamang

Hello, Namaste, and greetings from the Himalayan country of Nepal!
My name is Umesh Tamang, and I am 20 years old. I was born in Solukhumbu, home to the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest. I have been working as a trekking guide in Nepal since 2018, and I truly love my job. Trekking and outdoor activities in the Nepal Himalayas bring me great joy and a sense of excitement as it corresponds with my passion for traveling.
I started my journey in the trekking industry as a porter and later worked my way as an assistant guide. After completing my intermediate level of education and gaining over five years of experience, I obtained my trekking guide license in 2020. I successfully completed the trekking guide training provided by the Government of Nepal’s Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation (NATHM) training center. This training covered essential knowledge about the Himalayas, first aid, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), and much more which made me a potential trekking guide of Nepal. After obtaining my license, I began my trekking journey as a trekking guide where I successfully operated various treks in various region of Nepal. q
My trekking experience includes guiding mainly in the Everest and Annapurna region. I am fluent in English and Hindi and have a deep love for nature. I enjoy meeting people of all ages and showing them the incredible beauty of Nepal. Trekking is not just an occupation— It fills me with a sense of accomplishment, especially when I witness the joy and fulfillment of the travelers I lead.
So, embark on this incredible journey with me and experience the breathtaking peaks of Nepal. Immerse yourself in our vibrant culture, traditions, and way of life—you may find yourself falling in love with the beauty of the mountains. Travel as much as you can because life is precious, and every adventure is a story waiting to be written!
