Early life
Channg Dawa Sherpa was born and grew up in the rural village of Narbuchaur in Makalu Village of Sankhuwasabha District in Nepal. Dawa first reached the summit of Cho-Oyu (8201 m) in 2000 (Autumn). The brothers followed their passion of climbing and have climbed all the fourteen highest mountains through their personal expenses, without any funding. In order to do so however, they had to take a break from the mountains and head to Japan. Here, they worked hard to earn money for their families and to further their climbing dreams.
