Nima Doma Sherpa is a US Sherpa  guide and brand ambassador.  Born and raised in Khumjung village (12,300ft) in the remote Everest region of Nepal she became a widow after losing her husband Chhiring Ongchu Sherpa (cousin to US Sherpa founder) in a climbing accident on Mt. Everest in 2014. Nima Doma became a sole breadwinner and caregiver for her two young children. Both, Nima Doma and Fur Diki Sherpa, set out to start the Two Widows Everest Project in 2018 and climb Everest in  spring 2019.  Their goal was to honor their husbands dream of summiting Mt Everest, break the social barriers, discrimination that happens among the widows, and empower other widows who face similar discriminations. 

Nima Doma and Fur Diki successfully summited Mt. Everest (29,035ft) in 2019 and became the 1st Nepali Sherpa widow to successfully climb Everest in the world.  They have become excellent role models for many women and widows who have been discriminated against, demonstrating that with great courage, strength, and hard work, anyone can successfully reach their dreams. 

Other incredible summits by Nima Doma:

- Mt. Ama Dablam (22,349ft)

- Chulu East (21,601ft)
