The trek of a lifetime through Sherpa villages, glacial valleys and prayer-flag passes to the foot of the world's highest mountain.
ποΈ The story & spiritual meaning
To the Sherpas this is Chomolungma β 'Goddess Mother of the World.' Her guardian deity Miyolangsangma, riding a golden tigress, is believed to grant safe passage; every expedition begins with a puja at base camp asking her permission to climb. No Sherpa steps onto the ice without it.
