"Sherpa" is not a general term used to describe people who live in mountains. The Sherpas are an ethnic group who traditionally live in the Khumbu (Everest) region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas. Today Sherpas travel all over the world. Their name means "People from the East," and the word is often used to refer to a Himalayan mountain guide, no matter what that person's ethnic background.
