	Sherpa Culture - Nepal Travelogues
		Essentials, such as rice, cooking oil, ghetto blasters and pool tables, must be carried into the 70% of Nepal’s area not served by road.
		Nepal is 90% Hindu, but the Sherpas are Buddhist, and fluttering prayer flags, carved mani stones and chortens dominate the trails and villages in the Khumbu region.
		The Hindu majority assigned places in the caste system to all of Nepal’s ethnic groups, but aside from slapping on the understandably unpopular label of Bhotia (enslavable alcohol drinker), the impact on Khumbu region Sherpas seems to have been negligible.
