Sherpa: The people who first climbed Mt. Everest | SLICE

In the northeast of Nepal lies the Khumbu region, also known as the Everest region where the Himalayan Sherpa people reside. Khumbu is also home to the legendary Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, whose legacy lives on as the first person to scale Mount Everest.

Passang Nima, a 25-year-old local Sherpa, makes a living by carrying the bags of foreign visitors who opt to climb Everest. Just like Passang, many Himalayan Sherpa’s lives revolve around the world’s highest mountain.
