Founder Chairman/ Director

Mr. N. Dorjee Sherpa was born in Taksindu, a small Sherpa village of Solukhumbu District, in the Mount Everest region. Mr. Sherpa became a Buddhist monk when he was 9 years old. He completed his basic studies at Taksindu monastery. Following this, he spent two years in Bhutan for his high school level studies. Finally, he went to the Tibetan University (Central Institute of higher Tibetan studies) in Varanasi, India to complete his higher education. In 1999, Mr. Sherpa completed a master in Buddhist philosophy in that university and returned to Nepal.
Mr Sherpa has the two decades experiences for managing  and guiding trekking, mountaineering climbing, running and yoga/meditation trips in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, India and Tibet.

Since he was a Buddhist monk, he was always thinking of ways to help the poor community of Nepal specially in education and healthcare. With this intention, in early 2001, he founded his own Travel Company Himalayan Windhorse Adventure. Since then, he has been working as a tourism entrepreneur and as a social worker in the community. 

Driven by his intention to help the poor and his community, he succeeded with his tourism business and later established the Windhorse Foundation WF. This is a charitable NGO which aims to support the education and healthcare of the poor communities in the rural areas of Nepal. 

Mr. Sherpa is also associate member and life member for several associations, amongst which: the Nepal Sherpa Association, the Nepal Mountaineering Association, the Trekking Agent’s Association of Nepal, the Nepal Tourism Board, the Himalayan Rescue Association and various community groups.

 With his deep knowledge of the Buddhist studies and practices, and driven by a desire to share their benefits, Mr. Sherpa proposes his trips in a form that is different from what most other trekking companies in Nepal offer. He speaks different languages Sherpa, Nepali, English, Hindi, Tibetan, French.

With Himalayan Windhorse, your trips are not only physical adventures but also mental adventures: they are the perfect combination of an ‘outer’ and an ‘inner’ journey. Mr. Sherpa achieves a perfect blend by combining your trek in the Himalaya with a transmission of some of the profound teachings and practices of yoga and meditation.
