Unsung Heroes of Everest | Nat Geo Live

Sherpas get paid to take you to the top of mountains ...
but they won't get a peny to carry your dead body to Basecamps
they won't get a peny to rescue you wd enough medical suppliers ...
I was really flabbergasted by such humanitiarian works ....
Sherpas must be recognized all across the globe for there bravery there innocence and undoubtedly there friendly attitudes

Baby step to acknowledging the Sherpa.

Just because nepal doesn't have good economic conditions, westereners use them as a tool to climb.
They do not get any recognition which is very unfortunate.

Some kind of documentary should be made about their bravery and expertise in climbing the Himalayas.they are the true heroes.

🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahuakbar.

Beautifully done!
God bless all the Sherpas, porters, and their beautiful families.❤

Thankyou

Such a well explained about Sherpa .. thank you so much. 🙏

If they only realised they have ALL the power!

❤️

😑😑 . If I die on mount everest I want my body to stay there. Can't ask for a better grave .

without Sherpas, I doubt how the climbers summit.
I appreciate this documentary for telling the truth and in a nice way.

Err, 'the herding of the human cattle' ? Unnecessary questionable wording.

Thank you for revealing the real meaning of Sherpa, feels so proud to be a sherpa, without them , climbing Everest is unthinkable and that’s what sherpa people do.

👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️

Amazing.. Big cheers for you to bringing this up and making people aware of this side of the story as well..

Some sherpas are already abusive because they think that the foreign climbers are always dependent to them. Sherpas are not heroes because they are paid that much to do their job , but even so they leave tourist behind even if they need to help them. So why call them heroes?

For me , sherpas are no longer considered heroes because i saw them slap, punch, kick and throw stones at the tent of foreign climbers despite the tourists already kneeling in front of them.

Brave, brave men. Unsung and underpaid..

Finally. Thank you so very much for this! The Sherpas are the strongest mountaineers in the world. Very FEW can handle Everest without them..yet others get the glory…. but we all know it’s the SHERPAS making it really happen. By the comments you can still see the servant mentality some climbers have. They should say…yeah the Sherpa kept me going, kept me alive, made my dream possible. The Sherpas climb to the top of the world to provide for their family! True Heroes and examples of Love. ♥️ They inspire me.

So did you get to ask, who climbed Mt Everest first ? Sherpa or Edmund. .Sure Edmund paid a lot of money, still ..

Splendid

These are the teal climbers

Patronize much?

Amazing job

Sherpas are Everest. Without them it’s impossible. 👊🏻 mad respect .

🖤

Bravo for your respect for the sherpas/ athletes

This guy hit the nail on the head. Kudos to you, sir.

There's a difference between climbing Mount Everest and been lead up it

Wow! Great share! Amazing photos of amazing people

The shear pointlessness of this is astounding. For attention seekers only.

So this woman lost her husband, she's sitting with her children crying, and this dude is just snapping pictures.. jesus.

Nice photos

Absobloodylutely amazing! Respect to the sherpas! hatsoff

Νο doubt about Sherpas are heroes. But! The fact that they get paid as guides or whatever u wanna call it it makes it a job. It's a business! U wanna call it ethnic group business?! sure! But u can't deny that fact. For example if there was no payment to Sherpas I think the population of summiters would be the half

The painful thing is that they are doing this dangerous job just to feed their families.

Good story.
Hardly any western alpine climbers would summit any of the major peaks in The Himalayas without the help of the Sherpas.

Uwu🥺

Really amazing people.
I don't think I would even survive a volleyball match.

Superb photographs.

With a lot of money the westerners are throwing just to summit Everest, the government should also do their part in protecting these sherpas like providing them health insurance etc. and most specially to those families who lost their love ones from climbing the mountain.

It’s very selfish of anybody to put themselves in such a dangerous environment and then expect someone else to risk their lives to save them😡😡😡🤬🤬
Everyone on this planet has a duty of care for their own safety. 🤷‍♂️ the sherpa’s are always the heroes 💪💪 everyone else on the mountain are selfish muppets 🤷‍♂️🙄

the other side of the climbing mountains :(

Sherpas.. The Real Legends and Pride of Nepal 🇳🇵.

The sherpa are such good men

The Sherpa are warrior of the mountain
