Dawa Ongju Sherpa
President
Mr Dawa Ongju Sherpa is one of the finest mountaineers of this generation. He started his mountaineering career in the late 90s, while training himself at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI Darjeeling, India). With more than two decades of experience in the Mountaineering sector, Mr Ongju's experience and skills are always focused on the safety and security of climbers and support staff.
Having scaled a variety of 8000ers of both the Karakoram Range and the Himalayas, it is definitely an advantage for the Foundation serving countless injured while pursuing their dreams and career.
