Sherpa livelihood systems have been shaped by high-altitude settlement, Himalayan Buddhism, trade routes, livestock, trekking, and mountaineering economies.
Tourism, guiding, porter networks, lodges, agriculture, and migration all contribute to contemporary Sherpa livelihoods.
Monasteries, festivals, mountain identity, and family networks remain deeply connected with economic life.
This page connects with Sherpa, Everest Base Camp Trek, Namche Bazaar, tea houses, and Himalayan Buddhism.
