Thuktang Sherpa

Thuktang Sherpa was born in Yaphu -09 Sankhuwasabha area on the famous pathway to the Makalu. Witnessing throngs of Everest summiteers in his childhood, he heeded his call to become a Sherpa climbing guide and joined the NMA Mountaineering School in Manang, where he developed his professional approach to climbing and guiding. With many years of climbing and guiding experience, he has become one of our most experienced and valuable Sherpa guides. He is a professional guide certificated by Nepal Government and Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA); general and technical training in Manang. He also has formal training and certification as Trekking and Mountain Climbing Guide from Mountain Climbing and Trekking Guides Associations.

He has a great Sherpa personality with maturity, caring for customers with a great sense of duty and humour, making the ‘Climbing with Sherpa’ experience memorable and safe. He is very serious about his work but exhibits a high sense of humour, giving customers a real sense of Nepalese Sherpa culture and a first-class climbing experience. His English is sufficient for communication during climbing and trekking, and he has a repertoire of humour for all occasions and situations to make the climbing experience not only safe but fun as well.
