Dawa Finjo Sherpa

Finjo was born in Lukla, the gateway of the majestic mountains of the Khumbu Valley and Mt. Everest. He began his guiding career in 2010 and has since worked in a variety of different areas of the Nepal Himalayas. He has led numerous climbing expeditions to the trekking peaks of Nepal. In addition, he has climbed in the Karakoram Himalaya of Pakistan on K2 in 2023 and the Swiss Alps in 2017.

Finjo has already completed his basic and advanced mountaineering courses with both basic and advanced level of ice climbing courses in Nepal. He has summited Mt. Everest 3 times and his first summit was from North Ridge in China. He has many more summits of peaks above 6000m. Finjo was a primary climbing guide for blind veteran client Lonnie Bedwell from the United States when we summited Mt. Everest on May 22, 2023. His incredible patience and guidance have played a vital role to many climbers, enabling them to accomplish lifetime achievements.

He lives in Lukla, Nepal.
