Phunjo lama
I was born in Chhokangpaaro village of Tsum in an extended family of twelve. I spent most of my childhood in the rugged mountains with my grandfather Me Norbu herding yaks, dris (female yaks) and dzo (hybrid between yak and cow). Later i studied in Kathmandu mainly learning English and Nepali language.my mother tongue is Tsum ke (Sino-Tibetan). I speak fluent English, Nepali, Hindi, and Tibetan. I visited Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia, France, USA, Austria, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, India and Tibet Autonomous Region of China. I like to guide a bigger group mainly interested in climbing peaks in and around Tsum and Manaslu region. I am also happy to guide an expedition to Mt. Everest, My. K2 ,Mt Lhotse, Mt Dhaulagiri, Mt cho oyu, Mt Manaslu, Amadablam, Lobuche and open to work in expeditions to many other unexplored peaks in the Himalaya and around the world.
I am a first Nepali woman long-line helicopter rescuer, trained in the Swiss Alps and in the Nepalese Himalayas. I summit Mt. Everest from Tsum Valley and Manaslu region. I climbed Mt. Everest in 2018. I also climbed Mt. Cho Oyu solo without oxygen, Mt Lhotse, Mt. Manaslu, Amdablam, Lobuche and Mt. Denali in my ongoing mountaineering career that has started in 2015 to take a deeper and wider look in the mountaineering tourism. As a result, i also becoming a source of inspiration to many talented yet unemployed young girls to turn the adventure tourism into a basis for survival and just a new way of life. For that i see there is dire lack of training in safety especially among girls. I believe that “Mountains are much safer place to survive than in the chaotic cities such as Kathmandu and New York.” During off-trekking season, no wonder she is mostly seen in the climbing walls of Kathmandu.
