Everest climber joins outdoor team
Years ago, the 31-year-old used to work as a trekking guide for Bruno Baumann on his tours to Mount Kailash in Tibet. "He has improved amazingly, his skills as a climber are superb", Bruno stated when both met in Kathmandu in mid-December. Prem Dorji Lama has a bachelor degree in cultural sciences and sociology. "That also fits the purposes of the Silkroad Experiences Project very well", Baumann added with a smile.
The Silkroad Experiences Outdoor Team is going to tackle some remote Himalayan peaks within the next years. "So Prem´s knowledge of high altitude climbing is deeply welcome", Silkroad outdoor-chief Michael Strohmann said after the meeting in Kathmandu.
