Nepal is rich in ethnic multicultural. As a nation, Nepal is the source of two great religions of the world. The lifestyle in Nepal is blended with the culture and religion as the days start with worship. Nepal is also known as the meeting point of Hinduism and Buddhism and the country of living goddess. There is a famous axiom that there are more temples than the houses in Kathmandu and it is also considered as city of golden pagoda and parasols.

TASHI TENZING,
Marketing Director,Adventure Consultant
Tashi was born in Darjeeling, India on 30
November 1965 – youngest son of Pem Pem who is
Tenzing Norgay's eldest daughter. Tenzing, with
Sir Edmund Hillary, made the first ascent of
Everest on 19th May 1953.
Tashi spent his childhood in Darjeeling, the
famed British hill station and tea growing
area. He attended St Paul's School – a private
boarding school in the strict British
tradition. He made himself quite a name in the
outdoor education field, excelling at distance
and sprint running, soccer, cricket, gymnastics,
karate, hockey and horse-riding as well as in
more artistic pursuits such as oil painting and
batik.
Tashi then went on to the University of New
Delhi to gain a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Sociology. But his first love has always been
the outdoors and, especially, climbing. He was
solely responsible for establishing the Delhi
University Climbing Club and excelled at all the
climbing and outdoor adventure courses at the
Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in
Darjeeling. His grandfather, Tenzing Norgay,
established this Institute after his ascent of
Everest to offer professional climbing
instruction to all Indian people. It now has a
great tradition and a successful history of
expeditions to the great Himalayan peaks. Tashi
graduated from HMI as an instructor and still
sometimes takes courses there as a guest
instructor.
But since leaving University Tashi has been
almost solely employed in leading trekking and
climbing trips in Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan,
Kashmir and the Indian Himalaya. He has trekked
widely in Nepal – especially the Everest region
of course! – and also in Kashmir, Ladakh, Sikkim
and in the eastern Himalaya of Bhutan. Since
his childhood he has emulated his grandfather's
love of mountain exploration and he has managed
to maintain this quest by researching and
leading many new treks and expeditions. However
the desire to climb Everest has always been in
Tashi's heart and his passion for this never
waned. He knew one day his time would come.
In 1993 Tashi led the 40th
Anniversary Everest Expedition to mark the 40th
anniversary of the first successful expedition
of his grandfather, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. At
last his dream seemed in reach but it was also
important to him for the sake of his Sherpa
people who supported him to the fullest in this
bid. His team were successful, getting two
members to the summit on the 10th
May. Sadly Tashi's uncle and climbing partner,
Lobsang Tshering, fell to his death on the
descent from the summit. Tashi missed the
summit by just 400m having to turn back with
snow blindness.
However, on 23rd May 1997 Tashi at
last succeeded in reaching the summit of Everest
– his life's dream fulfilled and the road now
clear to take on new adventures. In 1998/99 he
spent 9 months working for the Australian
Antarctic Division at Mawson Station in the
Antarctic and now plans to add guiding in this
icy wilderness to his travel work.
Tashi again reached the summit of Mount Everest
for the second time to celebrate the 50 th
Anniversary of his Grand father Tenzing Norgay
Sherpa. |
