what is sherpa
Sherpa (Tibetan : eastern people, from shar east + pa people) are an ethnic group from the most mountainous region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas.Sherpa as a surname appears to be the result of the Nepalese government census takers.Not recognizing that some people only have one name, they wrote the word on census forms in the space for last name. In some cases the clan name was written and in others the ethnicity, i.e. Sherpa.ost Sherpa people live in Nepal's eastern regions; however, some live farther west in the Rolwaling valley and in the Helambu region north of Kathmandu. Tengboche is the oldest Sherpa village in Nepal.
