CNN's Talk Asia will interview mountaineer Jamling Tenzing Norgay. The show airs on 8 February at 8 pm with repeats on 9 February at 5 pm and 10 February at 9 am and 7 pm.

A Sherpa by birth, Jamling Tenzing Norgay followed his father’s footsteps and made the dream come true in 1996. In 1953, his father Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary became the first men known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. On the 50th anniversary of the expedition, Norgay shares with CNN’s viewers his feelings towards his father and Mount Everest.

Talking about his father he said, "He's sort of a model of living a simple life. Every time when I think of Everest, I think of my father. When I think of my father, I think of Everest. And Everest does mean a lot to our family.” Norgay also talks about his own unique experience in reaching the summit of Mount Everest, his adventure travel business and his future plans.

Norgay took over the adventure travel company when his father died, and he reveals to CNN what he enjoys about the business. “I am in the adventure travel business and I get to take people from different parts of the world to my part of the world and to share with them our experience and to share with them first-hand about our culture”.

When asked about his future plans, the mountaineer says, “To take care of my family at this point. I just want to spend more time now to clean up the environment and to help, to support the Sherpas and people in the Himalayas as much as possible.”
