Mountain Guide
Mingma Sherpa, born and raised in Lukla, is a small town located in the Khumbu Pasanglhamu rural municipality of the Solukhumbu District in Province No. 1 of northeastern Nepal. Lukla sits at an altitude of 2,860 metres (9,383 ft) and is a popular arrival point for visitors to the Himalayas, especially those heading to Mount Everest. Despite its name meaning "place with many goats and sheep," there are now only a few found in the area.
Most
of Mingma's childhood was spent in this isolated village. After completing
school there, she moved to Kathmandu to pursue further studies and establish a
better future for herself. She joined college in Kathmandu and simultaneously
started working as an assistant guide and trekking guide in Nepal. Over the
years, she has guided numerous treks in the Himalayas of Nepal and has gained
valuable experience. For the past three years, she has been working at World
Himalaya Trekking Company, continually growing as a more experienced leader.
Time keeps moving forward, and she continues to travel and explore new trekking
destinations in Nepal.
