Overview

Mount Everest - a place of mystery, majesty and unparalleled beauty - rises into the sky higher than any other mountain on Earth. Many stories have been told about the dangers and triumphs of climbing to the summit; but few have been written about the Sherpa, the people who have lived on the mountain for centuries and consider it sacred. The Sherpa now face the challenge of restoring and protecting this sacred mountain for their future and for the world. With stunning photographs and engaging text, Sacred Mountain presents a unique picture of Mount Everest that will captivate.
