Sherpa Culture
Sherpa culture is deeply rooted in the traditions and practices of the Sherpa people, an ethnic group from the mountainous regions of Nepal. They are known for their exceptional mountaineering skills and often serve as guides for climbers attempting to summit Mount Everest. Their lifestyle is closely tied to the rugged terrain, with agriculture and animal husbandry being primary sources of livelihood.
The Sherpa community practices Tibetan Buddhism, which influences their daily life and rituals. Festivals, such as Losar (Tibetan New Year), are celebrated with vibrant ceremonies. Their unique customs, including traditional dress and music, reflect a rich cultural heritage that emphasizes community and respect for nature.
