Pasang Lorie Sherpa (Alpine Guide)
My first experience of walking with trekkers was Gokyo to Gorakshep via Cho La (pass) in 2005. I have been attracted to the trekking ever since. Though my family's profession is trekking, mountaineering and agriculture, I did not become involved in trekking until after I graduated in Kathmandu (+2 levels). I grew up looking at Everest and other giant mountains, and I'm sure you will find many of my Himalayan stories interesting.
