Please check our FAQ section for understanding the terms “Sirdar” and “sherpa”.
Nima Tamang – Sirdar
Nima is our senior “Sirdar”, and he is in charge of all practical logistics in our expeditions and treks that he is assigned to. Nima was born and raised in the Solo Khumbu region of Mount Everest, but now lives with his wife and their two adorable daughters in Kathmandu. Nima is an extremely organized and positive person, who can make all work seem like fun. In his proximity, laughter is nonstop which often gives an extra work for the leader/ guide to translate what is happening, as the clients do not want to miss his clever jokes. Nepali or not – laughter is guaranteed in the vicinity of this one. Also – Watch out for all the practical jokes he exposes you to!
