Ang Tshering Lama hails from the Solu Khumbu region and was born in Phaplu, Nepal. After growing up in the mountains, he moved to the United States in his late teens and studied finance in New York. After graduating, Ang worked as a budget analyst for a year until he felt the mountains calling him home. For more than ten years, Ang has been working in the tourism and hospitality sector of Nepal. When he is not in the Himalaya, he spends his time in Mongolia leading horse-riding treks. Ang is the founder of Phaplu Mountain Bike Club. He is an aspiring enduro mountain biker and spends his free time doing yoga, reading, backpacking, and anything that positively balances mind and body. In the spring of 2022, Ang—with a team of all Sherpa climbers—reached the top of Mt. Everest. The expedition was based around raising awareness regarding Sherpa climbers and better representation.
