+ampha sherpa Hi im a university Student and we have to present a job, and i choosed to present the job of Sherpa because it's the job i have the most admiration for. Be sure that you'll have the respect you deserve
+ampha sherpa All my Respect! I have never been to Everest, I wish I could gaze upon its magnificence awe inspired beauty just once, to see with my own eyes the moonlight as it glistens off the summit and stars streaking across it peak OH WOW Everest has this spirit, like a rare endangered wild animal, to be viewed from a distance, never touched and most certainly NEVER conquered, defeated or tamed. I feel this deep soulful sadness when I see the garbage, and worse the bodies, who's spirits are forever lost, trapped or connected to the spirit of the mountain they went to conquer. I have watched several documentaries, to me it seems to be like a double edged sword. If it wasn't for the need of so many outsiders for "Personal" glory or desire to dominate, tame and "Conquer" that which can NEVER be tamed nor conquered, maybe so many lives wouldn't be lost or at constant risk, and so many Sherpa's wouldn't be forced to risk their lives to climb it, so that their children will never need to take that risk, living a longer and far better life, one in with they can once again look at the mountain, and finally see it again in all its magnificent beauty, awe inspiring splendor and its wild untamed spirit. Maybe if those wishing to climb Everest had to leave a deposit, which would cover the cost of removing their body should they parish on the mountain, if and when its becomes accessible. Maybe then the magnitude and danger of what they are about to endeavor, will be put into a better and far more accurate and realistic perspective. The following is not meant to be disrespectful, nor is it my intention to diminish the intensive risk, its merely meant to break the tension an sorrow I feel. I'm sure many reading this can come up with far more creative and witty acronyms, I look forward to them.

They laughed at the photo of a Sherpa guy holding a stuffed toy in Mt. Everest but for that Sherpa guy it was this stuffed that gives him motivation to survive in those deadly situation as it reminds him of his kids.
Dipesh Gurung, I laughed but not out of disrespect but because I do the same thing. I have some token that I also look upon for motivation. Perhaps these that laugh also see the similarity.
yes all nepali people need reconogation and nepal had so many brave ethinicity group like gorkha world most brave, loyal and fearless warriors and sherpa most fearless and climbers people's and tharu the most old ethnicity and one of the brave and friendly people's.
As a climber, without a doubt the real, real, real heroes of Mount Everest ARE the Sherpas! They are the rock stars of the climbing community. The unsung heroes. Sir Edmund Hillary will NOT have climbed Mount Everest without the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and he knows that! Thus, with that said I salute these amazing and wonderful people that are the Sherpas. They are heroes. They are world champions. They ARE true and incredible athletes. I salute the Sherpas.
Hang on a moment if people wouldn't be able to climb the mountain without sherpas then how does that make sherpas hero's because if they cannot even get up the mountain they wouldn't need saving or guiding because they wouldn't even be in that position jn the first place to be even able to climb the mountain if anything sherpas actually put people on the mountain by offering them a service then get called hero's that dose. Not make sense Actually think about it they offer a service to. Mountaineering company's to get novice climbers up the mountain nobody forces them. If their services was not available and their was no such thing as a *sherpa* then their would. Be way less people dying on the mountain because they simply would never be able to do it in the dam. First place this is a major flaw people have missed with the sherpas actually offering a carry you up. The mountain service they actually invite novice climbers to the mountain.... And then you. Will say its their way of making money we'll then why blame westerners it makes ZERO sense
@@TrueredsunitedTv Your sentences are all over the places its making me confused but i think i understand some of it. I mean like whats wrong with calling the sherpas as heroes? They deserved it, no need to deny that. And i don't understand what you mean by " sherpas actually put people on the mountain by offering them a service then get called hero's that dose". They dont invite novice climbers, people *CAME* to them with big chunks of money on the line and of course they will do whatever they can to make sure the climbers reached their goals and return safely, Its their job after all and wdym by "why blame westerners". That doesn't make any senses or i'm just too stupid to understand your confusing sentences.
@@hafann i can go further the sherpa knows that the climbers are novices they still. Accept their money take. Them. Up knowing their not good enough they die on the mountain and their haild hero's..........nobody puts a gun to their head they offer a service to aid people up. A mountain so. Why is it when the customer or. Sherpa dies the sherpa is haild a hero while. The climber was just stupid....its not reasonable logic
@@TrueredsunitedTv 100! Correct! This guy knows next to nothing about climbers sherpas, the mountaineering industry, etc. Everest is a $2Billion industry just in 2 months out of the year. Many sherpa either run their own expeditions or advertise their services. The West is not responsible for the poverty they live in ... the Nepalese government is. There is just so much ignorance within his presentation that it would take too long to explain. Every photo he used, he inaccurately described what was actually happening and why. He is factually incorrect, therefore, how can anything else he says be believed?
Tsewang Kalden Sherpa Sherpas are the reason so many are reaching the summit now. People were dying a lot more when they didn’t have sherpas there to help them.
I want (and have wanted for years) a full-length documentary of these amazing people. We spend so much time watching wealthy people (some of whom have no business doing so) climbing Everest, and always they _require_ the help of Sherpas. Who helps the Sherpas? No one. These people are fascinating and incredible adventurers, perhaps some of the bravest and toughest adventurers on the planet. Get on that documentary, NatGeo!
Also wanted to add that this talk was incredible, and the photographer hugely talented (and brave!). I really appreciated his take on the Sherpas and, judging from many comments here, the Sherpas did as well. More like this, please.
Absolutely amazing look at the culture and life of the Sherpa. I won't lie, I'm one of those ignorant Westerners who thought that Sherpa was synonymous with porter, but I've loved learning about these incredible people.
Sherpa is a Tibetan word meaning people from the east. Hundreds of years ago Tibetan from Kham migrated to this region of Everest and at that point of time, there was no clear border delineation between Tibet and Nepal.
My brother has climbed Mount Everest a number of times with the help of Wong Chu, a kind and experienced Sherpa. He’s one of the best, and as unassuming as they come. Sherpas are all AMAZING MEN! This was riveting!
Wong Chu does snot sound like a Sherpa name. Are you sure he’s Sherpa, or a Chinese guide who climbs mountains (like Sherpas do)? Remember Sherpa is an ethnic group, not a job.
Thank you so very much for reaveling this to the world. Thank you for showing that Everest is not everything that is shown only in movies....everything done by the paid heros. Its life, job and happiness for Sherpas and people of Nepal. Thank you again for showing this. Feels so proud.
Excellent talk! Amazing the way he describes the life of the Sherpas, because I watched several documentaries on Everest theme and they always pass by unnoticed, and they are the essence of Chomolungma.
Luis Filippe Ullmann Qomolangma is where the earth goddess lives. The purifying ceremony isn't asking for permission to climb, but forgiveness from climbing and stepping on her. The Sherpa community take care of the mountain because it is sacred land.
@@akineiar2301 I believe your job takes the biggest risks of any climber. Sherpas need to unite and strengthen to start a climber's union. Sherpas are not getting paid enough. While other companies are still getting rich sending inexperienced climbers on the mnt Everest putting life at risk. Nobody climbs without a sherpa or a porter both should unite and make a strong union.
Finally. Thank you so very much for this! The Sherpas are the strongest mountaineers in the world. Very FEW can handle Everest without them..yet others get the glory…. but we all know it’s the SHERPAS making it really happen. By the comments you can still see the servant mentality some climbers have. They should say…yeah the Sherpa kept me going, kept me alive, made my dream possible. The Sherpas climb to the top of the world to provide for their family! True Heroes and examples of Love. ♥️ They inspire me.
Thank you Mr. Aaron Huey! Thank you for enlightening the world on Sherpas. I salute thee with a humble bow of my head and bringing forth the unsung heroes.
So people do pay upwards of $80k to summit everest, but most of that goes to the foreign/domestic travel agencies which planned their summiting. Sherpas get paid just about $5k-$8k. Excluding tip. Giving that's a considerable sum of money in Nepal, i don't think it's good enough for risking lives. Plus some foreigners really ill treat their sherpas, and i heard this from sherpas themselves in namche bajar when i was there on october. From food they give to the way they talk to sherpas are so discriminating. Their job is to guide them but it kinda feels like they're a personal butler or a servant(i didn't say this the guide did). Wake up at 4-5 run to get the hotels booked, cook for them, babysit them, and do things at their whim. So all in all, no they do not get paid as much as they should, and they do not get treated with respectlike they should be. In internet yes, in the everest where it really matters, most of the time, no.
@coffeefish I'm not talking about the risk involved. I'm talking about giving the due respect. Westeners mostly feel very entitled more than they should. Giving money is one thing, but ill-treating people and taking people's kindness for granted is totally different.
These lockdown times offered time to explore where the mountaineering world is now ... and was shocked to learn how much garbage & dead bodies are strewn all over on Everest ... with insane LONG lines! And I found most videos were all about those big egos that had peaked and never acknowledge that they could not have done it without the Sherpas! This is the first video that helped me understand their lives and the truth of the situation. Thank you so much, great job!
Truly terrific I have never and Don't want to climb Everest! However, I love watching documentaries and hollywood films about Everest and it always seemed to me that Sherpas were these unsung hero's, who are treated with nothing more than a footnote in most stories. Ironally, these "brave" western climbers are always the focus despite doing very little in comparison. I'm glad someone else realized this and decided to make this video!!! Now if only we can make a big Hollywood movie about Sherpas and starring Sherpas not Christian Bale and Gerard Butler lol. BIG THUMBS UP!!!!
I appreciate this documentary & applaud you for doing it. I am not a climber & certainly not a mountaineer but I can absolutely respect and appreciate the greatness of these people. Thank you for sharing
Today I watched a three hour documentary abour Mt. Everest and Sherpas and I was amazed at. They are so strong physically and mentally. I respect them so much.
i am obsessed with everything to do w everest, mountaineering, sherpas... oxygen, death zone, beck, hillary, acclamation, cerebral edema... i do not hike climb or even exercise rite now but- completely fascinated!!🖤
meeshy 1313 lol same here I just get the chills on every footage there is on the death zone I don't know but every time I have this feeling that reaching the summit is soooooooo extremely cool and extremely scary!!
I respect that you document these amazing people & all they are. I’ve never scaled a mountain (& don’t want to), however I totally admire and respect the Sherpa men that risk their lives to support their families amidst the ignorance & egos of some people that don’t appreciate or even realize everything they do! Amazing respect to them and to you for documenting it all. Thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot for recognising the commitments and efforts of Sherpa people at Everest in its truest form! It's an honour which we don't get even from our own Nepali fellas or government!!
Great respect to the Sherpas who actually climb mountains with all d equipments and bagpacks while we glorify d others who somehow managed to d top with d constant care of f Sherpas..they deserve more respect but in reality is totally opposite.. without d Sherpas climbing Everest is surely impossible..
Thank you for revealing the real meaning of Sherpa, feels so proud to be a sherpa, without them , climbing Everest is unthinkable and that’s what sherpa people do.
Such a beautiful culture, family is so important, and hard working. We should be looking up to them as opposed to the people looking down at them as "servants"...
These Sherpa are the real mvp . They risk their lives for others to meet a dream . These guys are taken advantage of . I could never ask another to risk their life for me .
When I was in Iraq my first tour we were lucky enough to have a dining facility with proper food and it was staffed by mostly Nepalese guys. Every evening we could see the volley ball flying up and down above the tall concrete barriers around their compound. They would play every single night til midnight!
It would be grand if a lot more people would follow Sir Edmund Hillary’s example and do something to give back to the Sherpa. What a guy and true mountaineer he was.
It feels so selfish when people who clearly cant handle the mountain get draged up by sherpas on Mount Everest just because they have money and wanted to do so.
One of the best videos I've seen about Nepal and Sherpas. If global economic inequality wasn't our reality I wonder how many westerns would have reached these summits... probably not many. Only a few highly trained mountaineers. I hope someday Sherpas can live the live they want, with dignity and respect, without having to risk themselves for rich people's facebook photos, getting paid the low end of the cut. Sherpa have superior DNA adaptations (for altitude), are incredible athletes and nevertheless get disrespected.
we tie ropes

I’ve never scaled a mountain (& don’t want to), however I totally admire and respect the Sherpa men that risk their lives to support their families amidst the ignorance & egos of some people that don’t appreciate or even realize everything they do! Amazing respect to them and to you for documenting it all. Thank you for sharing
Amazing! Thank you for honouring the UNSUNG HERO'S....THE REAL HERO'S!!!
Thank you for acknowledging n honouring the Sherpas. Respect!!!
Respect to the sherpas who make the dreams of the bourgeoisie come true!
👏🏻👏🏻👌🏽 Namaste to all the Sherpas from India 🙌🏽😍
Thanks a lot for recognising the commitments and efforts of Sherpa people at Everest in its truest form! It's an honour which we don't get even from our own Nepali fellas or government!!
exactly the same feeling i have been carrying with me long time ago for sherpas... They are truely the Unsung Heroes

'its not all about us' - very well said in the end!!!❤️
I met Danuru. He is so cool. He told me about this climb with Huey.
uhuh, sureeeee you did!
Haha he was a guide on my Quest for Everest trip. 😂 Look that up on UA-cam or Google with my name.
what an illustration !! thanks for covering these unsung heroes
Great respect to the Sherpas who actually climb mountains with all d equipments and bagpacks while we glorify d others who somehow managed to d top with d constant care of f Sherpas..they deserve more respect but in reality is totally opposite.. without d Sherpas climbing Everest is surely impossible..
Thank you for revealing the real meaning of Sherpa, feels so proud to be a sherpa, without them , climbing Everest is unthinkable and that’s what sherpa people do.
Well done. Sherpas deserve much more credit than what is given.
I respect them and appreciate them met a nice number of Nepali ppl they were really nice.
just made me cry......
Such a beautiful culture, family is so important, and hard working. We should be looking up to them as opposed to the people looking down at them as "servants"...
i have complete respect for porters and sherpas....strong humble people...woyld love to travel there...
Sherpas are angels, everybody in Nepal is an angel. They are without a doubt the best people Ive ever met.
thank you for shedding light on brake respected Sherpa. God bless them, lots and lots of respect for them.
this is so beautiful capture! they deserve recognition!
These Sherpa are the real mvp . They risk their lives for others to meet a dream . These guys are taken advantage of . I could never ask another to risk their life for me .
This guy hit the nail on the head. Kudos to you, sir.
I cried, my tears wouldn't stop.I bow to the brave.
Sherpas- thank you for all you do! We respect you and pray for you 🙏
proud of all Sherpa brothers God bless you..
It's really great to see these men have such a great opportunity.

“Its not all about us” the real heroes. Long Live Sherpas!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
hats off to sherpas
Sherpas are great.
And here, you are also great telling their story. Keep it up.
Blessings to these Sherpas, especially to those who perished and left many loved ones behind,
When I was in Iraq my first tour we were lucky enough to have a dining facility with proper food and it was staffed by mostly Nepalese guys. Every evening we could see the volley ball flying up and down above the tall concrete barriers around their compound. They would play every single night til midnight!
What job do you do?
Very well done sir, much respect from one traveler to another.
Beautiful people, breathtaking landscapes, noble culture.
Wonderful brave hardworking Sherpas and their families❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this enlightening glimpse into a different world. Outstanding!
It would be grand if a lot more people would follow Sir Edmund Hillary’s example and do something to give back to the Sherpa. What a guy and true mountaineer he was.
Perfect exploration of the great sherpas
Loads of respect & prayers for the superheroes ❤️
Real Heroes Of Everest ~ Sherpa
"And it's not all about us". A nice way to sum up. Respects. And lot of respects to sherpa community. From india.
It feels so selfish when people who clearly cant handle the mountain get draged up by sherpas on Mount Everest just because they have money and wanted to do so.
Brave piece of journalism and beautiful images.Bravo Nat Geo and Aaron Huey.
fantastic thank you for that insight into the life of the sherpa...amazing athletes indeed
Some kind of documentary should be made about their bravery and expertise in climbing the Himalayas.they are the true heroes.
One of the best videos I've seen about Nepal and Sherpas.
If global economic inequality wasn't our reality I wonder how many westerns would have reached these summits... probably not many. Only a few highly trained mountaineers.
I hope someday Sherpas can live the live they want, with dignity and respect, without having to risk themselves for rich people's facebook photos, getting paid the low end of the cut.
Sherpa have superior DNA adaptations (for altitude), are incredible athletes and nevertheless get disrespected.
Great video Sir! It was really touching to see their lives from a different perspective! Hats off to your effort!
