Ankit Babu Adhikari and Pradeep Bashyal banded together to write a book on Sherpas.

While foreign writers and travellers have used a lot of ink on their experience of climbing some of the world's highest peaks, very little can be found on the brave Sherpas of the Himalayas. A couple of young Nepalis are trying to change the status quo with their first book, "Sherpa: Stories of Life and Death from the Forgotten Guardians of Everest”. Nepal correspondent Pratichya Dulal spoke to authors Ankit Babu Adhikari and Pradeep Bashyal.

Errata: One of the authors was wrongly identified as Ankit Babu Tiwari when we first published the story in 2023. It should have been Ankit Babu Adhikari.
