Tanya Perret has had a passion for the mountains for as long as she can remember. Originally from Bath, England, she fell in love with the Alps and the Himalayas and since 1997 has led over 100 hiking trips in those regions. She has climbed both Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, and her guiding in Nepal has brought her to the Everest region as well as Annapurna, Langtang, Helembu, Lower Mustang, and Makalu. She holds the International Mountain Leader guiding qualification as well as a Masters Degree in Rural Development. Conversant in French and Nepalese, she splits her time between her beautiful old house in the French Alps and her base in the Kopan district of Kathmandu.
