Sherpas

Sherpa, known as the 'People from the East,' form an ethnic group that migrated from eastern Tibet around five centuries ago. Originally nomadic, they traversed the rugged terrain with their yaks, moving between pastures in Tibet and wintering in Nepal. Engaged in cross-border trade prior to 1959, Sherpa were involved in the exchange of various commodities, including yaks, butter, Jhoppa (a crossbreed between a male cow and yaks), cement, carpets, noodles, and salt. This trade activity showcased their resourcefulness and adaptability.

Living in the Khumbu region, Sherpa communities maintain the highest permanent settlements globally, reaching altitudes of up to 4700 meters. In the early 1900s, Sherpa individuals transitioned into roles as high-altitude expedition porters and guides, earning the mark "Tigers Of The Snows" for their skillful climbing skills in challenging environments.

Along with their contributions to trade and mountaineering, Sherpa brought their rich religious, cultural, and traditional practices to the regions they inhabited. Their deep-rooted belief in Tibetan Buddhism is a keystone of their way of life, influencing their values and shaping their communities over centuries. Sherpa communities remain integral to the cultural wall-hanging of the Himalayan region, embodying a unique blend of tradition, and spiritual beliefs.

In contemporary times, Sherpa people have become synonymous with mountaineering and trekking brands. They have diversified into various businesses, extending their influence globally. Renowned for their courage and honesty, they are recognized as some of the world's most fearless and trustworthy individuals.

The Sherpa and Tibetan people call it Chomolungma, which means 'Mother Goddess.' This name comes from Jomo Miyo Langsangma, recognized by the Sherpa as one of the five sister mountain goddesses linked with agricultural abundance. In Nepali, the name is Sagarmatha, translating to 'Forehead of the Sky.' In Chinese, it is known as ‘Zhumulangma’, adopting the local name
