Kalsang Sherpa

Kalsang was born in Namche Bazaar, a small village in the Everest region of Nepal, home of the famous climbing Sherpas. He has worked for many years as a Sherpa climbing guide in the Nepal and Tibet Himalayas on numerous treks and expeditions and set up The Walking and Climbing Company in 1999. Since then, the range of adventure holidays offered  has widened as demand has increased, enabling others to see and experience the truly astounding Himalayan mountain range and to share Kalsang's passion for the region in which he grew up.

Kalsang is an enormously experienced guide, having climbed for many years with groups on Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Manaslu and Annapurna, as well as smaller mountains such as Island Peak, Mera Peak and Naya Khang. He speaks fluent English and prides himself on providing an individualised service, demonstrating a caring and generous nature that is typical of Himalayan Buddhist people and now a trademark of the company.
