Our Trip Leaders
Background
Geljun Sherpa is the current Treasurer for Moving Mountains in Nepal and sits on the Board.
He owns and runs a mountain lodge at Bupsa village in the lower Solukhumbu region of Nepal where Moving Mountains has developed and supports the local Primary School and Buddhist Monastery where we run our ‘Mini Monks’ school.
Geljun has a larger than life personality and is a much loved member of the team, leading many of our international development trips to Bupsa and Bumburi villages over the years to improve the local infrastructure in the region.
He has helped to oversee much of the building and development work, including the construction of Bupsa and Bumburi Primary Schools, Bumburi Secondary School, the Health Clinic in Bumburi and the renovation of the Monasteries in both Bupsa and Bumburi, as well as the Hydro-Electric project and the social enterprises which developed as a result and the distribution of water to the rural homes and the installation of much needed eco stoves.
