Nima Gombu Sherpa, Climbing Sherpa
10 Times Everest Summiteer

A native of the village of Gaurishankar in the Rolwaling Boding Dolakha region (just west of the Khumbu region) of Nepal, Nima Gombu Sherpa (35 yrs) has served as a Climbing Guide on many Everest expeditions. Known as much for his compassionate and kind personality as for his incredible physical strength, Nima Gombu adds tremendous emotional, physical, and spiritual value to all his expeditions.

As a Climbing Sherpa on our expedition, Nima Gombu gained the summit of Mount Everest for the 10th time! Five of his brothers have also been to the top of Everest. Quite a remarkable family.

Nima Gombu and his wife also own and operate the Mount Everest Summiters Shop in Kathmandu. They live in Kathmandu most of the year with their children.

 

A devout Buddhist, Nima Gombu accepts a special blessing
by a Lama in Pangboche during our trek in to base camp.

As Nawang Sherpa approached the summit of Mount Everest on May 16, he stopped to take this picture of his friend Nima Gombu just ahead of him. Tom McMillan, Pem Dorjee and Nima Tashi are just a few steps ahead of them,

 

 

Strong and gentle Nima Gombu is shown here at the summit of Mount Everest on a previous expedition. When he stood on the summit with Nawang Sherpa, the weather was clear and calm, as shown below.
