Description
The Sherpa Story: A Community of Mountain People At the foothills of the Himalayas, a small community of mountain people thrives, living and working on the world's highest peaks. Sherpa tells their story, one of endeavour and survival at the edge of life and death. This book delves into their culture and existence, tracing their story from pre-mountaineering revolution to the present day. Written by Ankit Babu Adhikari and Pradeep Bashyal, Sherpa sheds light on the lives of the Sherpas, featuring previously unpublished stories from the most notable and incredible Sherpas of the last 50 years. The result is a unique narrative that challenges the typical mountaineering book, focusing on the people who call the mountains home.
