Künk, Andreas: In the life of the Sherpa
Irresistible for mountaineers from all over the world, but for the locals a world full of extremes, dangers and challenges: the Himalayas, the highest and largest mountain range in the world.
At the heart of this mighty mountain range lies the former kingdom of Nepal. A breathtakingly beautiful country with many facets that does not always make it easy for its inhabitants to organize their everyday lives. Despite this, or perhaps precisely because of this, the various population groups in Nepal have one thing in common: they are true masters of improvisation, frugality and perseverance. One of these peoples are the Sherpa. Once immigrants from eastern Tibet, they now populate the valleys south of the eight-thousanders Mount Everest, Lhotse and Cho Oyu. On May 29, 1953, the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, who together with Sir Edmund Hillary achieved the first ascent of Mount Everest, brought them to the attention of the world for the first time. Their ancient culture and traditions are still alive and very much influenced by their country of origin, Tibet. Immerse yourself in the fascinating life of the Sherpa!
