One tradition is the Puja Ceremony. A Puja Ceremony is always held at Mount Everest Base Camp. Until this ceremony is held, no climber or Sherpa is allowed on the mountain, for fear of angering the gods.

A lama, a Buddhist holy man, usually oversees the ceremony. During the Puja, the climbers and Sherpa's pray to the gods for their permission to climb Mount Everest and for a blessing for a safe and successful expedition.
