Mr. Palsang Tamang, affectionately known by his nickname ‘Bokte,’ which translates to ‘Bhogate’ in Nepali and ‘pomelo’ in English, earned this name due to his plump and chubby appearance as a child. In his village of Thulo Parsel, he is widely recognized by this name. Palsang began his trekking career at the age of 16 as a porter. Hailing from the hill regions of Nepal, he quickly gained a reputation for being a capable, hardworking, and energetic young man.

With years of experience and extensive knowledge in the trekking field, Palsang founded Himalayan Vacation Treks and Expeditions, where he now serves as the Managing Director. He is a proud member of the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) and holds both a professional trekking and tour guide license, having completed government-sanctioned training. Fluent in English, Palsang is also deeply committed to social welfare and serves as the Vice President of the NGO Sathsathai Bikas Nepal.
