At Himalayan Travellers, the main goal is to build a strong relationship between the foreign and the Nepali climber for more safety, pleasure and success during a climb. and to help the Nepali climbers to have the opportunity to join the IFMGA mountain guide course.
We try to never use the terms of « Climbing Sherpa » or « High Altitude Sherpa », because (as you know) Sherpa is the name of a famous ethnic group and we are a multi ethnic company with Rai, Magar, Bhote, Sherpa, Ghale, Gurung, Tamang peoples working together.
The sirdar of an expedition can be also Nepali Mountain Guide or like Bishal Rai, a Trekking Mountain Leader. Normally, we shall use now the name of Trekking Mountain Leader instead of Trekking Guide, but this will be a hard (impossible ?) revolution in the trekking world in Nepal and abroad.
