About Me

My name is Karma Geljen Sherpa, a proud resident of Juving-1, Solukhumbu, Nepal, and the son of Migma Dorjee Sherpa and Lhakpa Doma Sherpa. From an early age, I have been deeply connected to the mountains that surround my home. My journey in mountaineering began when I was just 16 years old, starting as a porter and steadily working my way up to becoming a professional mountain guide and expedition leader.

Achievements & Summit Highlights

Throughout my mountaineering career, I have been fortunate to accomplish extraordinary feats on some of the world’s highest and most challenging peaks. Each expedition has tested my limits and strengthened my passion for the mountains. Below are some of my most significant achievements:
