Mr. Jamling Tenzing Norgay

Mr. Jamling Tenzing Norgay is the son of Everest pioneer Tenzing Norgay, the first man to summit Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. He chose not to live in the shadow of that legacy and carved out his own place as a world-renowned mountaineer. In 2002 he summited Everest with Peter Hillary in a joint expedition marking the 50th anniversary of the first ascent.

Jamling was the star of the IMAX documentary film ‘Everest’. The film portrayed the physical challenges of the mountain as well as the mental and spiritual challenges faced by climbers. He later entered the literary world with ‘Touching My Father's Soul’, a reflection on his relationship with his father and his 1996 Everest ascent.

He is also a successful motivational speaker and has been invited worldwide as a keynote speaker. In his talks, he speaks about leadership, planning and confidence. Apprenticeship, experience and humility complete that measured balance.

A member of a living dynasty of climbers, Jamling has 11 relatives who have summited Mount Everest. He remains committed to his family profession as a mountain guide who leads novices and experts alike.
