Nima Kanchha Sherpa (born 20 April 1977 in Thamoteng, Everest region, Nepal) is a Nepali high‑altitude mountaineer, guide and expedition leader.[1] He has multiple recorded ascents of Mount Everest and other major Himalayan peaks,[2] and has participated in two Guinness World Records‑certified high‑altitude events.[3][4]
Career
editThe Himalayan Database lists Nima Kanchha Sherpa on numerous expeditions in Nepal and Tibet/China.[5] His recorded ascents include multiple summits of Mount Everest from both the Nepal and Tibet/China sides between 2007 and 2024,[6][7][8][9] as well as ascents of Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu and Makalu.[10][11][12]
He has worked as a high‑altitude Sherpa, guide and sirdar on commercial and private expeditions.[13] Media coverage notes his role in the 2013 Eco Everest Expedition supporting Indian mountaineer Arunima Sinha, who became the first female amputee to summit Mount Everest.[14][15]
World records

In September 2024 Nima Kanchha Sherpa and Neil Laughton set the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude to ride a bicycle at 7,246 m on Putha Hiunchuli.[19] The achievement was covered by international media including Reuters and the BBC.[20][21]
