The Tiger Of The Himalayas

In 1990 Apa Sherpa reached the summit of Mount Everest for the first time.
Since then he has taken 21 expeditions to the top of the world.
Nobody else in the world has climbed the highest mountain on earth more times. And he has never lost a client.

If Apa had gotten the chance to choose between all his success and all his records he would have chosen to be a doctor to help the people of his native land in Nepal.

In 2010 Apa founded the Apa Sherpa Foundation with the help of his best friend Jerry Mika, pictured above left seated next to Apa. The Apa Sherpa Foundation works for the children of Nepal’s right to an education. Apa strongly believes that without an education the children of Nepal cannot flourish and grow.
