Gyaltsen Sherpa was the best guide and one of the loveliest people I have ever met.

Sadly, he died on 15th August 2017.

Gyaltsen often spoke, with affection, of the many guests he had travelled with across his beautiful country. We know that he worked hard to make our holidays memorable by keeping us safe as well as pointing out wildlife, flowers and other aspects of life in Nepal that we would otherwise have missed. He introduced us to his many friends along the trail and was always willing to help someone that was struggling, whether they were part of his tour or not.

It's now our chance to help Gyaltsen achieve his wish for Pasang. He was very proud of his son and wanted Pasang to have the best life chances by gaining as much education as he is able. Pasang studies well and needs our help, in the absence of his father.

Basant discussed this with Pasang and has written :

Dear Friends,

We are trying to help Gyaltsen wife and specially Pasang only son for his further future plan, he is currently going to finish school grade 12th and want to go to US for higher study if not some training or job. We plan to raise UKP 5000 to help Pasang future plan. If we manage to raise fund, I have asked my wife Prerana to monitor the finance to ensure fund is wisely used. Prerana work for a Charity called Future for Nepal (FFN) which had been sponsoring Pasang education since he was a small child and sponsorship will be till 12 grade. I together with many of our friends are willing to help Gyaltsen`s son and if anybody wish to help, please use this site and let us know.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Basant
