The number of Sherpas who die each year can vary significantly based on factors such as the climbing season, the number of expeditions, and the conditions on Mount Everest and other peaks. On average, a few Sherpas may lose their lives annually during climbing seasons due to accidents, avalanches, or health-related issues. However, specific statistics can fluctuate widely from year to year. In recent years, the climbing community has become more aware of these dangers, leading to increased safety measures.

Sherpas are people who guide other up mountains. So, typically in the mountains of Nepal, the Himalayas, etc.
Himalayan Sherpas have rich customs deeply rooted in their Buddhist beliefs and cultural heritage. They often practice a communal lifestyle, emphasizing cooperation and mutual aid, especially in agriculture and mountaineering. Traditional attire, such as the chuba (a long woolen coat), is commonly worn, and festivals like Losar (Tibetan New Year) are significant celebrations marked by rituals, feasting, and community gatherings. Additionally, Sherpas have a deep respect for the mountains, viewing them as sacred, which influences many of their practices and traditions.
