Finally, I returned back to the Makalu Walung Sherpa village. It was the winter 2012/13, and, before coming back to Kathmandu to prepare next spring's expedition to Mt. Everest again, I stayed there about little more than one month.
I have been writing articles on my experience at the village with the Sherpas on the Korean monthly magazine "Mountain" ('Sahn' in Korean) where I contributed as an editorial member. Here is I think not a best place I could write about my experience in its entirety, so, I wouldn't do but, if you want, visit the site and read yet everything is in Korean.

I am also Sherpa from Kurima Solukhumbu but I never show this types ritual in Buddhism.......
ReplyDeleteyes, there are many different Sherpa regions in Nepal. It is clear that obvious difference may be observable between the customs of khumbu and of other regions such as sankhuwasabha.
