About 60 Years ago, an inspiring Sherpa from Namche Bazaar was seen among the group of Sherpa who were recruited for the
expeditions and trekking. This was just the beginning of the adventure tourism in Nepal. With the ability to ascend the high altitudes and support the
climbing crew, Pasang Phutar Sherpa was among the many Sherpa from the khumbu region to be part of this amazing period of adventure travel.
In the fall of 1952, he was with the Swiss expedition team under the leadership of Dr. G. Chevalley, and then instantly was recruited later in 1953 British
Mount Everest Expedition, under the leadership of John Hunt. In the year of 1950, he was also honored with the Tiger Batch award by the Warwik British
Regiment for his bravery.
Pasang Phutar also joined the team of the Yeti Expedition led by Norman Dyhrenfurth in the 60’s. He was the first liaison officer to be appointed by the
government of Nepal in the 50’s for the Iida Langtang Himal Expedition, Japan.
Then, the LEGACY was passed on to Mingma Dorji Sherpa his son in the 80’s. The adventure travel in Nepal slowly picked up
in the later years.
