Jamling Tenzing Norgay Biography

Over forty years later Jamling Tenzing Norgay retraced his father's historic footsteps. Norgay summited Mount Everest in 1996, just two weeks after nine people died in the mountains most deadly storm ever recorded.

Not only did Norgay make it to the top of the world's most forbidding mountain - described by the Sherpa people as " The Mother Goddess of the World" - but also helped capture it all on film. As the star of director David Breashears Imax film Everest, Norgay helped portray not only the physical challenges of the mountain, but also the mental and spiritual challenges faced by the climbers.

A visually stimulating and emotionally stirring movie, Everest has played to sold out audiences across the country. The unprecedented film depicts the selflessness exhibited by Norgay and his companions in risking their own lives to save their fellow climbers.

" I never felt so strong in my life. It was as if my father's spirit was with me," he says, describing his conditions as he inched closer to the top.

Norgay recalls feeling so happy, he cried. A Buddhist, he planted a lungta (prayer flag), photos of the Dalai Lama and his late parents in the pristine summit snow. Then, just as his father had done 43 years earlier, he left a small toy belonging to his daughter and struck the same dignified "pose" his father assumed in 1953, that had etched an indelible image in the minds of the millions.

For his bravery on the unforgettable journey, Norgay received His Holiness The Dalai Lama's Award, as well as the National Citizen's award from the President of India.

Norgay released his new book, Touching My Father's Soul, in the spring of 2001 in San Francisco, which has been translated into 18 languages since then. His book reached the 24 spot on the New York Times Best seller list, and # 15 in Germany. It has been nominated for 3 awards in Canada, London, and the US.

Today, in addition to his motivational speaking engagements, Norgay runs his own adventure travel company Tenzing Norgay Adventures in Darjeeling, India. As a speaker, few people have the combination of the incredible story and effective delivery as Norgay. Whether discussing the spiritual enlightening an Everest summit climb brings, or having the courage and desire to follow your dreams, Norgay captures an audience's attention and inspires them to go after the goals in their lives that may seem unattainable.
