Sherpa means "easterner" because we came from the
Kham in eastern Tibet. For 600 years, people have migrated from Tibet to these
mountain valleys in Nepal. There was a time of great unrest in Tibet when many
lamas, their families and followers left their homes looking for new places to
live. They settled in the mountain valleys of northern Nepal. These
places came to be called Yolmo (Helambu), Langtang, and Khumbu.
