Ang Sona Sherpa

Chief Executive Officer

Ang Sona Sherpa was born in the breathtaking region of Solukhumbu, nestled in the lap of the Himalayas. Growing up in a traditional Sherpa family, her early life was deeply influenced by the world of trekking and mountaineering. From a young age, she watched the men in her family and community pack their rucksacks and venture off on expeditions, working as trekking guides and porters for months at a time. It was a common sight, yet one thing stood out—women were rarely seen participating in these roles. As a child, this disparity fueled a dream within her. She promised herself that one day she would break the mold, not just by stepping into the male-dominated field of tourism, but by leading a trekking company that would provide opportunities for those who, like her, relied on this industry for their livelihood. Her vision was not only to build a successful career in tourism but also to create a platform where both men and women from underprivileged backgrounds could find employment, showcase their skills, and uplift their families and communities. As the Managing Head of Sherpa Himalaya Treks and Expedition, Ang Sona now plays a pivotal role in shaping the company’s success.Her responsibilities are vast and essential to the company’s operations. She customizes trip itineraries, ensuring that each experience is tailored to the specific desires and needs of the clients. From the moment they arrive in Nepal until they conclude their trek, Ang Sona ensures that each client receives personalized attention, outstanding service, and an unforgettable journey. Under her leadership, Sherpa Himalaya Treks and Expedition has grown in reputation for its professionalism and client care. Ang Sona ensures that the guides appointed for each trek are highly skilled, professional, and responsive, guaranteeing a seamless and enjoyable trekking experience. Equally important to her is the welfare of her trekking team. She goes beyond standard industry practices by providing fair wages, insurance, and quality equipment to ensure their safety and well-being. This not only motivates her staff but also upholds the company’s legacy of excellence, earned over years of hard work. She is deeply committed to empowering both men and women from her community, offering them meaningful employment and helping them build better lives through sustainable tourism. With Ang Sona at the helm, Sherpa Himalaya Treks and Expedition continues to thrive, providing clients with memorable adventures while giving back to the Sherpa community that has shaped Nepal’s trekking legacy.
