After returning from an expedition to Himlung Himal in 2004, René Tomio (a High Mountain Guide friend) and Jacques told Tashi Sherpa and Ang Tshering Sherpa that they should create their agency.
For many years Tashi and Ang worked as "Sherpas" in a big Nepalese trek agency. Moreover, they speak and write French and English perfectly.
They were convinced that they were quite capable of running a trekking agency. Their friend and cousin Pasang was also an adventurous person. Two other Sherpas Mig and Emilie will also work for a few years at the agency. This is the origin of Khumbu Shangrila.
