Kaji Sherpa is a founding member and an experienced trekking, tour, and climbing guide at High Valley Treks & Expedition. Kaji’s journey in the trekking industry began in 1991, right after finishing high school, marking the start of a remarkable career in Nepal’s tourism and mountaineering sector. His early years were filled with legendary expeditions, including serving as base camp staff during the 1992 Italian Everest Expedition, followed by multiple successful climbs of Ama Dablam, Karta Ri, and Choyu (from the Tibet side).
Over the years, Kaji has guided some of the most popular trekking routes and peak climbs in Nepal, showcasing his deep expertise in high-altitude trekking and mountaineering. He spent seven years working with Nepal Himal Treks as a guide, which further honed his leadership and technical skills. In 2000, Kaji completed the Trekking Guide Training certified by the Ministry of Tourism & Civil Aviation of Nepal, and in 2001-2002, he participated in Alpine Training in Austria, focusing on first aid, rock and ice climbing, and modern mountain rescue techniques. This training was conducted by authorized Austrian mountain guides, which also included lessons on the preservation of nature and the environment.
Kaji’s international experience includes travels to countries such as Austria, Germany, Tibet, India, and Afghanistan, which have enriched his global perspective on mountaineering and trekking. His passion for the mountains and dedication to providing safe and enriching experiences for trekkers make him a highly respected figure in the Nepalese tourism industry.
