Ambar Tamang is a local private tour guide in Nepal

I am Ambar Tamang from Solukhumbu, the lower region of Mt. Everest. My small village, called Lumsa, is situated off the main trekking route. I began my trekking career in 1994 as a cook's assistant. Over the years, I have diligently pursued various training programs, actively participated in numerous workshops, and attended seminars focusing on culture and sustainable tourism. Since 1994, I have been deeply involved in the field of tourism, specializing in outdoor trips, and specifically as a trekking guide since 1998. With over 25 years of invaluable experience and extensive knowledge in the mountain tourism industry in Nepal, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the business. Throughout my journey, I have trekked and explored the majority of Nepal's Himalayan Valleys, conquered three technically challenging mountain peaks, and excelled in uncovering off-the-beaten-track adventures. Currently, I reside in Kapan, near Boudha, Kathmandu, together with my wife and family. I possess an immense passion for photography and travel videography, which adds an extra dimension to my work.
