Abstract
This [Khumbu] is the home of the great Sherpas who have made themselves famous from the Karakoram to Sikkim, contributing all their strength and all their intelligence to the exploration of the great Asiatic chain. Without them, the approach to the few mountains that have been conquered would never have been possible. All the Europeans who have come to the region owe them a heavy debt.Keywords
