Sherpas | Documentary on The True Heroes of Mount Everest

Sherpas – the True Heroes of Mount Everest showcases the work, hardships, and life of the Sherpas at Mount Everest. The film follows the expedition of the Swiss mountain guide Kari Kobler and his European climbers as they climb the highest mountain in the world, a feat un-imaginable without the support and guidance of their hired Nepali Sherpas. Among the Sherpas is Dawa, who has peaked Everest thirteen times. Throughout the film, the Sherpas share their stories, feelings, and fears on the climb. They tell us bluntly what it means for them to work for Western climbers and to act as their leaders on the top of the world, sometimes risking their own lives to save a Western client.

Emotional to see the sherpa's efforts on the himalayan. They deserve more and more. Salutes to the real sherpa pride of Nepal.. ✌

Every climbers goal is to reach the top, while the sherpas is to come back to base camp. This is interesting but sad reality way of life of sherpas. And i absolutely salute them.

This documentary gives us a much deeper look at the hard working SHERPA that support all the Western climbers. I am astonished that so many climbers claim a climbing victory based on the fact that the SHERPAS have prepared the way for them, provided for them and carried all the supplies for them!! Tables for the paying members? Unbelievable luxury at the expense of laboring SHERPAS! It shocked me how many men were on that 5 piece ladder extension. Definitely had to smile at finding a bakery on Mount Everest! Thank you for posting this important documentary...much appreciated!!

I'm glad watching this, because now If I ever hear someone say ''They climbed Everest'' I know what they really mean is ''I climbed a pre-made path set-up by brave sherpas''.

On one of my first solo climbs (not everest, another himalayan peak) I carried 18 kg on my back, that was no joke. The pull you feel when you are climbing steep ice walls, is unimaginable, its like a person is pulling you from behind with straps on your shoulder. I had to leave some gear behind while descending. These guys absolute monster and I mean that in the most respectful way possible.

Sir Edmund Hillary ( 1st to climb Mt Everest 1951) died I 2008 aged 88yrs, 6mths after returning to NZ from Kathmandu. He never forgot the sherpas and built dozens of schools and medical centres in the Himalayas, he went there many times with his family. He was forever great full toTensing Norway the Sherpa and kept in contact with him and his family.

The Sherpa's are the one's who deserve all the credit and should deservedly be compensated for their life saving efforts. They are much admired. They are the ones who take all the risks performing a dangerous job. God bless them. In memory of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.

More respect for Sherpas, less respect for the mountaineers who have everything done for them. They didn't even bury their comrade, Gianni. It was the Sherpas who made a grave and held a service for them. The Sherpas should have more power to negotiate their pay and conditions for service on the mountain, with more clear terms, so they aren't as terribly exploited by the Westerners who visit Chomolungma.

I've been fascinated with the stories of Everest for awhile now, the stories of SHERPAS have touched my heart and consumed me that . My goal is not to summit Everest but raise money to help sherpas thats been impacted by everest. These SHERPAS are TRUE HEROS

[SD-efqp]

instead an outsider organising these expeditions these sherpas should start their own group so
that they get fairly paid..hats off to these guys

Sherpa mingma is a hero. He did everything he could, he did so much more that almost anyone would/could. Risking his own life like that. Incredible and brave man. So are all the sherpas, they deserve far more recognition for their bravery.

Most of the comments are the appreciation for the sacrifices made by the Sherpas, that’s nice but what about the cameraman....he’s the reason we could able to watch this extraordinary. So here, I give a very very big thanks to the cameraman 🙏🙏

[beautifulspirit]

The Sherpas are the true heroes. I have huge respect for their courage, humility and hard work. They should get paid far more for risking their lives.

[kvlviswe]

I am amazed by the super strength of the Sherpas. Respect.

[andrewmarshall]

Probably the first time anyone has asked this Sherpa about his life and he just spills everything out: "well my father..." and in a minute he's already crying. The emotional constipation amongst these people is intense.

49:10. Sherpa carrying 12 oxygen bottles, weighing 92 pounds, to an elevation of 26, 000 feet. Wow! 👍

[bassmithbassist]

What incredible respect these men show to a stranger who came to the mountain and died there.

Sir I am Nepalese man Our brave sherpas are not only hero of Everest they are hero of all mountains of Nepal like Everest annapurna aamadablam kanchanjangha manastlu gaurishankar Ganesh himal langtang himal machhepuchre himal saipal himal they are expert of all mountains. If you have sherpa in the mountains he will save you in bad climate condition he will feed you he makes a way to walk. Sherpa is born in mountain they are Brave Tigers of Mountains of Nepal. I listen many western tourist trekking in different mountain track in Nepal without a Sherpa guide and some were dead lost in the jungle some were eaten by wild animals and some were dead walking wrong tracks. I request all tourist coming in Nepal who are interested in mountain take Sherpa guide 100% don't walk alone.
