FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

I was born in 1964 in a remote village called Mushey in Solukhumbu situated on the gateway to Mt. Everest. I learnt mountaineering from my father Phuri Galzen Sherpa and as I am a Sherpa woman, mountaineering and tourism is in my blood. I started my career at a very early age of thirteen. I like my job very much because it is not only entertaining but also one gets the golden opportunity to meet people from different cultures from all over the world. Thus, mountaineering and tourism is the best industry for a women like me.
