2 mins readPodcast Episode 02| Insights from Trekking Guide Jangbu Sherpa, Nepal.
Nepal was one of the first countries I dreamt of visiting. It was the mountains, nature, the people and sense of peace in its own way that called to me. However it was first when I past 30, that I put my feet on the Nepali ground. A few years later I returned as a leader of a group on a Yoga in the Mountain trek we organised. This is also when I first met Jangbu Sherpa, our trekking guide for the trip. In this episode I checked in with Jangbu, to hear how he is doing now, and how trekking guides in Nepal are coping with the corona crisis. It is motivating to hear his positiveness, humor and his ability to adapt to whats now, while working for the future. We are also talking about life as a trekking guide, how it changed his life and why he wants to be a trekking guide as long as can!

Jangbu is a very knowledgeable guide and has been trekking most of the trails in Nepal. His passion for nature, people and culture is shining thru if you spend some days with him in the mountains. Today he is the second vice president of the Trekking Association in Nepal.
