Apa Sherpa | 21 Everest Summits

The certificates and awards for Apa Sherpa

On the way back to Namche Bazaar after crossing the Rhenjo La pass on the Everest trek,  we stopped for lunch at Thami at the lodge of the famous Everest sumitteer Apa Sherpa who has 21 Everest summits to his credit. Apa was away in the USA but his brother and their family were present. They showed us around the lodge and we had a pleasant lunch with them in the sun. Here are some photographs and memorablia of Apa Sherpa from the lodge:
