To learn more about the Sherpa tribe that makes climbing Everest possible, read Beyond the Summit by Linda LeBlanc.

Beyond the Summit, is the rare gem that shows us the triumphs and challenges of a major climb from the porter’s point of view. The love of two people from diverse cultures is the fiery centerpiece of a novel that leads its readers through harshly beautiful and highly dangerous territory to the roof of the world.

Thanks Nepalwriter, I haven't read the book but from your description I put in my list as a 'must read' thanks for writing in and letting our readers know where they can learn more about mysterious and charming places like the Himalayan Mountains.
