Meet Our Guides

SOREN KRUSE LEDET. The 2013 Makalu & Everest Traverse via Sherpani Col will be led by World Expeditions senior leader Soren Kruse Ledet.

Soren was a member of the 1995 and 2003 Annapurna 4 expedition and also accompanied Gary Hayes on a 6 month traverse of Nepal. He has led many climbs and treks in Nepal, Tibet, China and Bhutan including Cho Oyu, and his own self organised solo attempt on Mt Everest in 2011.

BIR SINGH, Bir is possibly one of our most versatile leaders, escorting our trekking groups along challenging sections of the Great Himalaya Trail, our family treks in the Annapurna region or private special interest groups to Everest Base Camp.

Bir has also been instrumental in the organisation of the community projects that we have running at the Sanjiwani Health Clinic which has seen positive change for this important medical facility in the lower Annapurnas. Bir is a very popular guide with all groups he is involved with.

MANOJ SITLING is perhaps one of our most experienced and respected trekking guides in Nepal. It would be hard to meet someone who has walked so extensively through Nepal's mountains.

He is witty and fun, yet diligent in the detail that goes into making every trek a great success. We are often asked by returning travellers if they could request Manoj on their future trek for the simple reason that he is so good at what he does.

ANG TSHERING began his trekking guide career in Nepal for World Expeditions over 12 years ago. His insatiable passion for the outdoors ensures his groups have the best experience of his beloved country.

Born in Junbesi, lower Everest region, Ang helped construct the impressive Kushudebu Health Clinic that serves some 10,000 people on the Solu region. A very caring guide, his knowledge of Nepal's plants, mountains and cultures is much appreciated by our travellers.
