Overview

Himalayan Herders is the first general case study about Sherpa people in the Yolmo region of Nepal (which helps to place the more familiar Sherpa of the Solu-Khumbu region (Mt. Everest) in comparative context). This study provides an ethnographic description of a village within the broad context of human adaptation to mountain environments, Tibetan regional cultures, and culture change.
