The word Sherpa is not a title and does not mean mountaineer, guide or
porter. Sherpa is the name of the ethnic group who inhabit the southern
flanks of the Himalayan range in north-east Nepal. Sherpas are of Tibetan
origin who migrated from the Kham province in Tibet about 200 years ago.
The Sherpa language is a dialect of Tibetan; and their religion is Buddhism.
Due to their natural acclimatization to high altitude, they are amongst the
best trekkers and mountaineers in Nepal
Everest Base Camp - Trekking in Nepal
16 days in Nepal
Everest Base Camp is a classic and demanding trek. The trek begins after a short flight from Kathmandu to
Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla and follows the
classic expedition route of the '50s all the way to the foot of the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest.
Hike to the rocky outcrop of Kala Pathar for awesome views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and the snowcapped panorama of other Himalayan
giants. Then hike to Everest Base Camp to see the Khumbu Icefall and huge towers of green and white ice pinnacles. The other highlights of this trek are
visiting delightful Sherpa villages, less frequented side valley of Thame and meeting the friendly people. Also visiting the active monastery of
Thyangboche to experience the spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism so prevalent in this high country
