With profound sadness, we share the news that Pemba Tsering Sherpa passed away on May 14, 2009. He left peacefully in full possession of his senses, charisma, gentleness, compassion and gratitude for an extraordinary life. In Kathmandu, after three months of battling liver cancer, surrounded by family and friends, he closed his eyes for the last time just after a Sherpa lama offered him instructions for negotiating his path to the next life.

We offer this website to Pemba’s many friends as a way of remembering and sharing the events of his life as they influenced our own. We invite your comments and reflections here or send your thoughts and photos to info@journeys.travel and we will post them for you.  You can scroll below to see all blog entries in chronological order or you can click on the categories on the side bar.  To view complete entries you may need to click on the entries’ title lines.
