Sherpa
Sherpa are hard workers. Most of their villages are located in Khumbu, and the farming is incredibly difficult in those mountain areas. Although they live on higher lands, their crops are usually on lower planes. Their most productive season is the Summer monsoon, and that lasts from June to September.http://www.bergadventures.com/v3_main/Sherpa-Story2.php
The Sherpa also herd yak, which are bull-like creatures with long, coarse hair. They are prominent in China.http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/other/YAK/These yak are normally kept up in the higher valleys near the grass and they provide milk and fur for coats. The Sherpa also ride on the yak for faster travel.http://www.bergadventures.com/v3_main/Sherpa-Story2.php
