However, Everest is more than a spectacular geographic icon. It is a sacred living place of the Sherpas, the children of the mountains. It also thrives with magnificent flora and fauna. Interestingly there are communities, legends and stories pave the path of Khumbu region and surrounding village. Those stories are heard less in the world, visualized less by the people and told less to the people.
StoryCycle is gratified towards the support from Google Earth Outreach, Apa Sherpa and surrounding villages. We feel proud to have travelled with the legend, Apa Sherpa, who holds the world record of reaching the top of the everest staggering 21 times. Now, Apa is embarking on a greater adventure of bringing better education to the children of the mountains. Here is the moment and experiences we lived and cherished on our journey.
