Bridging Worlds

Today, he works to improve the lives of Sherpas in the Khumbu region of northeast Nepal, overseeing a number of philanthropic projects. Maintaining a foot in two worlds, Pemba shares his unique perspective on the Everest expedition industry, life in America, and the changing Sherpa culture.
