Our Team

Tenzing Sherpa was born in the Sagarmatha Region, Solukhumbu, in the very shadow of Everest itself. It was his father, an experienced guide, who inspired the teenage Tenzing to become involved in the tourism and trekking sector. Tenzing went on to work for several well-known trekking agencies, climbing up the professional ladder to the position of licensed trekking guide.
It was while working at Himalayan Magic Adventure that Tenzing met Pasang and the decision was made to establish their own trekking company. ‘Our goals and way of thinking were the same,’ Tenzing explains, ‘while our specialist knowledge was different and complementary. I had practical experience in the field as a guide, while Pasang was skilled in handling logistics and administrative matters.’
The result was the birth of Manikang Nepal Treks and Adventure, ‘a young and dynamic company,’ as Tenzing says, ‘which can make not only our dreams come true but those of our clients as well.’

Pasang Bal Tamang, the owner of Manikang Nepal Treks and Adventure, was born in the Temal, Kavrepalanchock district of Nepal. A member of the Tamang ethnic group, he followed in his family’s footsteps and started working in the trekking sector on graduating from high school. He held various positions in the trekking world, working his way up the professional ladder to the position of acting manager at Himalayan Magic Adventure and also gaining experience in the hotel industry. Finally, he established his own company in partnership with Tenzing Sherpa.

‘Our aim is to develop the business by offering competitive prices to our clients along with the highest levels of personal and flexible service, while at the same time providing fair, living wages to our porters and guides,’ says Pasang.
