RAJ TAMANG – LIAISON
OFFICER TO THE ROYAL NAVY AND ROYAL MARINES EVEREST
NORTH RIDGE 2003 EXPEDITION, APRIL – MAY 2003
I first met Raj Tamang during
the Royal Navy Everest 2003 Expedition during which
he worked as our liaison officer. He was hand picked
for the position on our team and proved a considerable
asset. I am very happy to give the following report
on his performance and character.
A highly intelligent and well
educated man, Mr Tamang has considerable experience
in the field of trekking and tour operations throughout
Nepal, India and Tibet. He put this knowledge to very
good use during our expedition, regularly briefing the
team on the local culture and history of the different
areas as we moved through them. He has a ‘presence’
that equips him particularly well in his dealings with
everyone from clients to authorities. He is a prescient
judge of character and communicates well in a number
of different languages both verbally and on paper.
Having done outstanding work with
our main climbing team he then moved on to assist the
trekking groups and to act as a personal guide to Mr
Gerard Baker, the BBC Radio 4 presenter.
I have absolutely no hesitation
in recommending Raj Tamang to anyone, from prospective
employer, through trekker to potential business partner,
as a proactive and highly capable man.
