The Himalayas Sherpas Overview |General Taxidermy Discussion|Forum|Taxidermy Talk

This mysterious tribe has existed in the Himalayas for thousands of years and has always been settled here. The prestigious Baima Living Buddha among the Sherpas said that when their ancestors talked about themselves, they also mentioned mi nia, a place where they came from. In Tibetan, the term mi nia refers to Dangxiang Qiang people or Xixia people, and it is a noble name.

Sherpa people’ bodies have super cold tolerance and strong lung capacity. They‘ve fully adapted to the plateau climate, and they can climb mountains as if walking on the ground. Therefore, Sherpas are known as the “porter on the Himalayas”. Almost all expeditions coming to climb Mt.Everest will hire Sherpa to assist them to reach the summit. Not only can they explore the path, place ladders and laying ropes, but they can also carry the daily necessities to the camp on the mountain in advance. Therefore, as long as the term “Sherpa” is mentioned, what people think of is the porter who is carrying the load and walking forward on the snow-capped mountains. In the English context, Sherpa even became a verb, as in “Can you sherpa a bag for me?”
