About the Book
Tenzing Norgay was known as the Tiger of the Snows because of his passion for mountains and mountaineering.
His story is an inspiration to all, the story of a person from a very humble background who dared to dream of reaching the highest peak in the world. It is the story of his indomitable spirit which saw him attempt Everest several times, before finally reaching its summit along with Edumund Hillary on 29 May 1953.
Tenzing’s best-known legacy to Indian mountaineering is the Himalayan Mountaineering Instute (HMI), which he nurtured almost up to his death in 1986.
Here he used the skils he’d learned over a lifetime and passed them down to younger generations. They were simple skils - courage, determination, resourcefulness and the ability to face challenges - skills that were the secret of his success and made him a figure as large as the mountains he loved.
