We are
the Sherpas of the Himalaya and the mountains are our pride they
are holy to us. We grew up to venerate these icy pinnacles as the
abode of the gods. It is a matter of pride for us that one of the
first two humans to set foot on the summit of Chomolungma, known
to the world as Mt. Everest, was a Sherpa. Since that unforgettable
day when Sherpa Tenzing Norgay stood on top of the world with Edmund
Hillary, we have been known as mountain climbers. We have made a
name for ourselves not only as born mountaineers, but also for our
companionship, friendliness and hospitality that come to us naturally.
Let us show you around our enchanting land -our monasteries humming
with prayer, our religious masked dances, our idyllic and uncomplicated
way of life, and our picturesque villages where prayer flags are
always flying over our homes. We will take you along untrodden trails
and over hidden mountain passes which only we know well. Let us
be your guide on a magical experience. We will take you around the
Himalaya as only the Sherpas can. Because it is our home.
