Pemba Sherpa

Namaste! I grew up in a family tea-house on the Everest trail, so my first "office" was a kitchen full of trekkers from every corner of the world. I started as a porter, learnt the mountains step by step and have led groups to Everest Base Camp, Gokyo and around the Annapurnas ever since.

For me a good trek is not about speed. I plan the acclimatisation days carefully, keep an eye on every guest's breathing and appetite, and choose tea-houses where the dal bhat is hot and the welcome is warm. You walk – I take care of the rest.
