Phunuru was born in 1980 and grew up in Phortse, the backyard of the tallest mountain on earth, Everest.

Out of over a dozen mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas, Phunuru has submitted Everest (8848M) 6 times, Amadablam (6812M) 2 times and Choyo (8201M) an amazing 12 times. Because of his skill set and his passion for working in the outdoors, Phunuru got an opportunity to work as a first Nepali Ranger in the Denali National Park and Mt. Rainer National Park in the USA in 2009. In the same year, he was awarded a scholarship to do a NOLS mountaineering course in Wyoming, USA where he learned and shared more about leadership and outdoor skills with his group.
