About The Founder/chairman

Mr.N. Dorjee Sherpa was born in Taksindu, a small Sherpa village in 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’s in Buddhist philosophy at that university and returned to Nepal.

Mr.Sherpa has been running his private travel company and donate 10% net profits to Windhorse Foundation for the charity. He has over two decades of experiences managing and guiding trekking, tours,  mountaineering, climbing, running, and yoga/meditation trips in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, India, and Tibet.
Since Mr. Sherpa himself was from a poor family and became a monk he was always thinking of ways to help the poor community of Nepal, especially in education and healthcare in the rural villages. With this intention, he founded his own travel company, Himalayan Windhorse Adventure, in the early 2000s and later he founded the Windhorse Foundation WF  in 2021. Since then, he has been working as a tourism entrepreneur and as a social worker in the community. “Many people in remote parts of the Himalayas had been dying because there are no hospitals; even my own mother passed away on the way to the hospital,” Sherpa said.

How WF supports to the community?

The Windhorse Foundation WF has been helping the poor and needy people in healthcare services e.g. rescue sick people from remote, help for treatment and paying hospital bills etc…And in education we help for paying fully or partially scholarship, stationeries, uniforms etc.. we also been helping the victims of the earthquake and COVID-19 pandemic.

As a hospital is extremely necessary at Taksindu for the locale people and also many tourists and porters, Windhorse Foundation WF is planning to build a hospital along with a meditation center at Taksindu in Everest region. “Now my main project is to make a nice hospital and meditation center at Taksindu village where people get both physical and mental treatments because when the patients are physically hospitalized for many days, they can get mental relaxation from the mindfulness meditation as physical and mental health are the deepest relation to each other, that’s way patients recovery sooner and we can protect the many people who are dying untimely like my mother,” Sherpa added.

How WF raise the funds?

Driven by his pure  intention to help the poor people in his community he succeeded with his tourism business and he later established the Windhorse Foundation WF in early 2021. This is a charitable NGO that aims to support the education and healthcare for the poor communities in the rural areas of Nepal. The main sources of fundraising for Windhorse Foundation WF is the donation from the former trekkers, climbers and their connection friends who did their trips with Mr. Sherpa and who are  satisfied with the friendly services provided by his company Himalayan Windhorse Adventure. And also 10% of his net profit he donates to the Windhorse Foundation WF.“ I feel proud that 10% of total profits of my tourism business goes to Windhorse Foundation WF for charity” he added.Our first project to build the Hospital and Meditation Center in Taksindu in Everest region

Why WF wants to build a hospital along with meditation center in Taksindu ?

The Health Care System in Nepal is terribly poor. And in many rural villages don’t have hospital at all.
It takes 1/2 days to get the government hospital and again it’s treatment services are insufficient.  A handful of hospitals that exist run by the Nepal government is often overcrowded, and many patients are certainly not taken care of and privately run hospitals are too expensive, far  and poor villagers, porters cannot afford the fees. Therefore, the first project that WF would like to build a hospital along with a meditation center as one of our first projects in Taksindu, Solukhumbu area in the Everest region of Nepal.

The Hospital reconstructions plans are as below:

• Plan to purchase the land within the year of 2023 December and will be registered the land in the name of the Hospital project.
• Will design the master plans and design 3D architecture of the three buildings and to be approved by the Solu Dudhkunda Municipality and the Health Department of Health Ministry, of Nepal.
• The buildings will be designed to withstand an earthquake of up to 9.0 magnitude.
