John Ruskin eloquently expressed
Dawa Yangzum Sherpa: Learning the Ropes – Ep.1
Women’s underrepresentation in mountain adventures and tourism signals a distinct gender gap. Encouraging their increased participation is essential for fostering diversity and inclusivity in outdoor activities.
Path to being South Asia’s first female IFMGA Guide, summiting 14 8000ers, and aiding aspiring female adventurers.
I too want to be a mentor who can help
people, especially women, take their
first steps towards their dreams.
