About Rabindra Tamang:
Rabindra Tamang is a seasoned trekker and mountain guide with extensive experience in the Himalayas. Since 2008, Rabindra has successfully climbed several formidable peaks, including Louche and Island Peak, both of which stand over 6,000 meters tall. His expertise is further solidified by his A Grade Mountain Guide Training license, making him a hugely experienced and qualified guide operating in the region.
Rabindra’s journey in humanitarian work began in 2015 when he partnered with Clare to assist earthquake victims in Nepal. The devastating earthquake of April 2015 left countless families in need of immediate relief, and Rabindra was at the forefront of these efforts. Following the passing of Clare’s father, John “Leaky,” in 2016, Rabindra co-founded the Himalayan Leaky Foundation (HLF) with Clare. Their shared vision was to transform the lives of those in need, and since its inception, the foundation has provided vital support in the form of food, education, and shelter to communities across Nepal.
Some of Rabindra’s notable achievements through HLF include:
Emergency Support & Bhaktapur Community Rebuilding: After the 2015 earthquake, Rabindra and the team built the Bhaktapur Community to provide safe housing for the victims.
Water Project in Kavre: This initiative brought clean and reliable water to the community of over 500 people, significantly improving their quality of life.
Shelter and Support for the Homeless (Chepang Community): Rabindra has been instrumental in constructing shelter and ensuring monthly food support for the Chepang people, one of the most marginalized communities in Nepal.
Anti-Human Trafficking Initiatives: Rabindra has played a key role in organizing projects aimed at combating human trafficking in vulnerable areas.
The Challenge:
In 2025, Rabindra will undertake one of his most ambitious challenges yet: climbing to the summit of Mt. Everest, the roof of the world. This climb is dedicated to raising funds to provide shelter, food, education, and clean water for the Chepang families. As a symbolic gesture, Rabindra plans to carry the banner of our sponsors to the summit, showcasing the collective effort to make a difference.
Rabindra and the Himalayan Leaky Foundation are appealing for donors and sponsors to join this cause. The funds raised will go towards clean water solutions and rebuilding homes in a Chepang village to ensure that the children and families in this community have access to the basic needs and opportunities for a better future and also supporting HLF’s ongoing Women Empowerment Programme.
All funds raised from this initiative will be directed to the Himalayan Leaky Foundation, ensuring that every dollar makes a meaningful impact on the ground.
