I fully agree with your comments except for the use of the word cast (caste). That term has no meaning in Sherpa society. The caste system is a purely Hindu concept. The Sherpa people belong to a distinct ethnic group having migrated from Tibet some 500 years ago. Before you reply that I don't know what I'm talking about you should know that I am married to a Sherpani who was also a qualified mountain guide.
@@NepaliSportsClick Yes Saroj ji, we are fine here in Australia. Sadly we are not allowed to travel overseas until the virus is under control. As soon as we are free I will be back in Nepal. I also hope that you and your family are safe and well.
@@tonyparr312 Sherpa didn't migrate from anywhere. They used to live both in Nepal n Tibet around Everest area. That's why they r considered as indigenous native group of Himalayan region of Nepal
I've been to mount Everest. I tried to climb to the top and I received a lot of help from the locals. I somehow became the main attraction and word of my presence there circulated rather quickly. However, I never made it to the top. It was just too cold and my skin was beginning to just crack and I had open wounds due to the cold. Weather is so unlike my native Congo. I can the heat, not the cold.
Some civilians may speak very lowly of Gorkha when they work as security guards but every army guy will speak about Gorkhas only with huge respect. Love to Nepal from India 🇳🇵🇮🇳🇳🇵🇮🇳🇳🇵🇮🇳🇳🇵🇮🇳❤️❤️
@@Oberoy248 do you even know what gurkhas are go search in google or youtube the people who you're calling security guards are your own north east people who pretend to be a gorkhali or a nepali and use Nepal name to get job , you indinas live in a bubble so get out of that
@@ayoogorkhali9262 so if white people points at elephant and says it is cat then will you also say yes it's cat? Or you will try to correct their mistake?
the climbers need to be supporting these women for there shamed self interest the definition of which is....... thinking about your needs above the needs of others around you.
Hoping someday , those children of theirs , sent school to obtain higher education for better job & opportunities , by their parents risking their life & some died , will make the majority if not all on those villages. That means , to be sherpas / porters is optional on that generation, no longer completely dependent . Happy to see on this docu , women started to explore their horizon and seeing their worth beyond. Just hoping other options opens up for them besides being Everest climbing. Im just wondering of any existence of insurance for sherpas & porters.
Our girls are studying well, women are testing their abilities although less educated and skillful.Change is inevitable 😍😍😍😍Hats off .Nepal is transforming
@@factspoken9062 the world is not only vegetarian... personally I don't like the festivals in which the animals are sacrifice...but Gautam Buddha has not done any crime that he Born in Nepal where there is festivals like Gadimahi
Respect to the Sherpas but K2 is the hardest climb. That being said Sherpas are the people who make climbing Everest for over 99% of the climbers possible. The top of Everest is a tourist destination that would not be possible without them.
@@raixbox360 Did rest of the widows starve to death? There is no country in the world, where there is no poverty, but it does not mean, that you will do for money something that caused your children already lose one parent. I grew up in former Soviet Union and lack of food and hunger is nothing new for me - but we did grow most of our food our-selves. Like it said in the video - most of them work in agriculture
@@kristiinakallas6130 Actually, high up in mountain region, where they live, land is not that fertile and climate is not suitable for farming. Farming barely produce them food for 4-5months. So they've to work in other fields to sustain their life.
@@ujwaltimalsina8098 Here we have 4 seasons and growing season 4-5 months - it is not how long you can grow something, but how much you can store to sustain live. They also have now trade and tourism, what they did not have before. I have seen documentaries about places, where is even more unforgiving climate and people make it work - like their ancestors before them
So now Everest will consume sherpa men aswell as woman, that's the only difference. This is not a woman empowerment film which I guess you intend it to be. She has an extremely high chance of dying on that mountain. So sad to see how inept their government is in helping their people.
Actually Sherpa means not a potters.(Sher) east and( pa) people so who lives in eastern part of Nepal in the Himalayas .it's call Sherpa .not all the Sherpas are the potters.on the expedition everyone have to carry a load even the foreigners will carry the things Wich they needs on the and theirs equipment . Sherpa are just supporter's and guidance on expedition . "Sherpa is not a potters .we are the guide"
AND THE RICH KIDS THAT WANT THEIR THRILL SHOULD PUT 10 THOUSAND IN BANK, UPON THE DEATH OF ANY CLIMBER THAT IS HIRED TO HELP THE WIFE OR FAMILY GET THE MONEY, JOE INTERVIEWED THIS DUDE THAT'S TRYING TO GET A FUND GOING.
RESPECT to our nation's pride "SHERPAS"
Sherpas are real heroes 👏👏
They risk their lives for the highest paid labor in the land plus potential glory and certain adventure.
Proud of our SHERPAS brother and sister who makes our country proud 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏🙏🙏
You do what it takes...
Incredible fortitude...
Brave and courageous...🇿🇦
Life and living over there is very hard. Respect!
Never knew life of a sherpa is so painful. This is a good insight. Thanks.
The title widows of Everest is even more painful.
Simply amazing documentary! Thank you Al Jazeera for covering this.
SHERPA .....is not just a cast its a proud name of Mountain region of Nepal for around the world. They are brave and honest people.

I agree, passion and choice rather than their only livelihood option.
It gives the impression of being in heaven in Nepal
Brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼🙏

Exactly what will happen to your sons if you also die, the climbers should make sure you are set for life
Nice video
I will be happy if I ever reach the base camp
Mount everest,Gautam Buddha, Bravery and Sherpas are those brand which advertise the country Nepal
what about Gadhaima festival?

This is the best example of teaching people how to fish rather than giving them fish everytime they need one.
Breaking the chains
really a nice videos.
It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, there is and will always be gender discrimination with society trying to dictate a woman’s place.
True feminism at its best! Women showing other women that they can be winners and leaders.
Sherpa
We have ladies doing men's jobs in the 21st century!
No discrimination
anyone after RONB
Wow
K2 is ultimate not Everest.

So it was not enough, that children lost one parent - now they may lose both?
she has to do it to survive, are you willing to sponsor them women?

How do sherpas afford all that expensive gear?
Them tribe people should show more respect to dem rich foreigners from the European Union
So their husbands
Were killed the climbers should look after his wife
Dont mess with feminine power
AND THE RICH KIDS THAT WANT THEIR THRILL SHOULD PUT 10 THOUSAND IN BANK, UPON THE DEATH OF ANY CLIMBER THAT IS HIRED TO HELP THE WIFE OR FAMILY GET THE MONEY, JOE INTERVIEWED THIS DUDE THAT'S TRYING TO GET A FUND GOING.
Now sherpees are challenging Sherpas right to work, not good portends for a limited scope for work
Well them sherpas can just chose another work la
