Brief Overview
There is some debate as to whether Tenzing Norgay was born in Tibet or Nepal. His father was a yak herder, and he was one of thirteen children.He had assisted a number of trips up the Himalayas and had even attempted to reach the top of Mount Everest prior to his reaching the top of the mountain with Sir Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953.
He later established a trekking service called Tenzing Norgay Adventures, which is currently led by his son, who also reached the top of Mount Everest in 1996.
