The Sherpas (The Himalaya's Natives - Full Documentary)

Bordering Nepal and Tibet, we find the highest mountains in the world; the Himalayas. This is the home for the Sherpas, from where the first man to climb Mount Everest came from. This documentary follows three brothers, all native to the Himalayas but living completely different lives.
The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes and the Meo of China.

It does not matter for us wether we carry loads or not, sherpas name are already known all over the world. I am a sherpa from the modern generation but my craving for learning and speaking sherpa language is still high. We wont let our culture get lost. I will teach my children the sherpa language and sherpa culture. Proud being a sherpa. Terila tashidele( greetings to everyone who are watching this)

[@jaysen161]

Please do all you can to share more of your culture with people all over the world!

[@Game-WaterSortPuzzel]

I’m also Sherpa from Bhutan and this video reminds me, our language is really getting the side effects of modernization. We are losing our language, couture and tradition. Thank you for the documentary.

[@OogwayLD]

thats what ur ancestors are famous for losing identity🤣

[@kylefenrick9168]

Its a shame that separation is a cultural norm. Does not promote the extension of culture or preserve a place which requires cooperation

[@akab3504]

Hi from USA I learned a lot about the noble hard working Sherpa people from this well made film. Thanks!

[@dolltsering_choDen]

In Bhutan, There is also small minority of Sherpa residing in western/southern Bhutan. Recently I came across one of the most Heartbreaking Documentary based on Mt. Everest, Sherpa's saving one English man's life! So I Prolly believe they're born with great extra ordinary physical strength and hats off to their purified heart! 💕💓🙏#Bhutan.

[@dorgesherpa3860]

Thank you so much for sharing this . Now I knew how much efforts my ancestors made to give me a better life .

[@victorhood3453]

This comment should have the most likes on this thread.

[@pasangkajisherpa9274]

Totally agree with the wife of Mimgma . Being born and raised in city I dont have any insights about my own culture and language which for me is pretty sad but whatelse could they do since they were so busy on working just to provide good food and education to their children. I'm an architecture student and researching for my thesis on "Sherpa Architecture Culture and Trails" so huge thanks to the directors and team members who covered this beautiful story. This helped to understand my ancestors lives in more deeper way. Maybe I can do something to bring these issues into light for better life at Himalayas. Thank you and god bless!!

[@juliekooiker3408]

On my bucket list someday is to meet a Sherpa!! They are truly the strongest most determined natural athletes ever born! Amazing!

Mingma’s wife is right Sherpa name and culture will die along with the language, they should maintain it .

[@dushyantathapa2833]

Why poor Tenzing again and again.....those are his riches....not lyk us trapped in a rat race......he is happy n u should appreciate brave and happy Tenzing and his wife...the way he lives....Love from Darjeeling...India and lastly the load of firewoods on his back is much more lighter than a credit card due date...and EMI'$

[@Linda-ot3pj]

You can have rebirth here on earth by accepting Jesus and have the Holy Spirit A beautiful people

[@sumina_magar]

No here we believe in buddha's and their teachings....... we don't need jesus to get rebirth. What we need is good karma. According to the sakhyamuni what ever religion u follow doesn't matter, to get rebirth a good karma and your pure soul is what is needed.

[@tenzingurung3653]

You are going against your belief by saying rebirth on the earth. Do you believe in rebirth in the first place?

[@mingmasherpa3358]

❤❤❤

[@gelupgsherpa8906]

Just great life and Happy life

[@conni-switzerland9515]

Long life an all Sherpa 💚🙏🧡

[@flintliddon]

If the monks were truly good they would go ahead and try to cure him without demanding payment that no poor farmer can afford to pay. So sad.

[@lamadanu]

Ancent prenup, very progressive of us. laso!

[@julianalderson3938]

Big call to say first man.

[@norbu1167]

Sherpa is part of Tibet

[@anyone61]

Yup, they speak Tibetan but with different dialect just like other Tibetans who have amdo dialect, utsang dialect, etc..Nepali won’t understand one bit what they sherpa are saying but Tibetans can.

[@pedrotampos2877]

yesss

[@phurbadorjee-07]

Sherpa a part of ancient tibetan clan

[@markomilojevic8122]

Sherpa, Magar, Rai, Limbu, Sunuwar, Tamang, Gurung and Newar are the best Nepalis 🙌🏻

[@richardhincemon9423]

Sherpas are the best

[@rinsang2447]

Himalaya kumbhu maunt efrest i like 👍

[@phaedrussmith1949]

Of all the working people in the world who are used, abused, underappreciated and soon forgotten about by the rich people of the world the Sherpas stand at the summit (pun intended).

[@julianalderson3938]

Love this vid. But sayin first ever. Not sure

[@umedbisht8711]

Great mountainous sherpa

[@jmvlogtv3319]

❤️

[@randallhesse5011]

I would guess that maca would grow well up there. That would be something else other than potatoes.

[@conni-switzerland9515]

I had read that there were mountaineers who were carried on the shoulder by the sherpas because they were exhausted and absolutely wanted to reach the summit, do you have any confirmations?

[@KaupmadurDe]

Leading Sherpas (Sirdars) are often the most experienced mountaineers of the whole group - so they would not choose a happy westerner over the safety of the whole group ! If any climber got so weak that he got to be carried, there is absolutely no logic in moving him even higher, of course you start to descent !

[@tormon506]

Yes, climbers are sometimes carried by sherpas. But only down, not up. If you have to be carried up, you have no chance on any 8000 peak. But yes, sherpas do rescue operations to carry sick, weak or injured or dead climbers back down to base camp.

[@julianalderson3938]

I think people did things we dont even know a bout

[@julianalderson3938]

But to say first ok

[@Wanducamp]

One day maybe there will be United States of Tibet. all the Himalayans people

[@paulmario1923]

Very dificult to suvive for thes people

[@k9N7p]

veny old dogumentary

[@Yesica1993]

I got up to 11:50. There's no reincarnation of any previous Lama. Or anyone else. There is death and then judgment. Only Jesus Christ can save people from being eternally lost. He alone died to pay for our sins. Otherwise, we pay for them forever, in Hell. It's so heartbreaking to see people following these falsehoods.

[@stellamatutina3573]

And because your storybook said so Hey..?
