Meet Phunuru Sherpa — originally from Lukla and now based in Kathmandu with his family, Phunuru has been guiding treks across Nepal for more than a decade. With experience leading trips in Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and beyond, he knows the trails like the back of his hand.
He proudly calls the Everest region home and loves nothing more than sharing its stories, landscapes, and culture with trekkers. In fact, some of our guests have affectionately nicknamed him the “unofficial mayor of Everest” — a title earned through his deep local knowledge, countless connections along the trail, and his easygoing, welcoming presence.
Friendly, attentive, and mountain-smart, Phunuru is committed to making every trek safe, smooth, and truly memorable.
