Kami Rita Sherpa ( Personal Life/Goal/Hurdles)
Kami Rita Sherpa Personal Life :
- Kami Rita grew up in a small village, Thame in
the Solukhumbu district, living with his large family in a one-
room house. The village was also the home of other Sherpas,
including Tenzing Norgay who guided Sir Edmund Hillary to
the summit in 1953.
- In his youth, he had considered becoming a monk and spent
some time at the Thame Dechen Chokhorling monastery but
decided not to proceed with this vocation. According to Kami
Rita's brother Lakpa Rita,Kami's first work on a mountain was
in 1992, assisting a Base Camp cook and working as a
porter, transporting gear to the Everest base camp, at age
12. By age 24, he had scaled Everest.
- Kami Rita lives with his wife, Lakpa Jangmu, and two children
in Kathmandu. He has ensured that his children are getting
an education to enable them to choose occupations that are
less dangerous than guiding mountaineers.
- Kima Rita said “We were illiterate and poor and there were
no other means of survival. As a result, we were compelled to
climb dangerous mountains to ease out a living.

Kami Rita Sherpa ( Personal Life/Goal/Hurdles)
- Kami Rita said to a journalist that the government does not
support the Sherpas. "We are famous around the world.
Many foreigners know us, but our government doesn’t care
about us.“
- He said that when Ang Rita Sherpa was hospitalised in
Kathmandu in 2017 after a brain haemorrhage the
government provided no support. Although climbing is safer
than in the past because of superior equipment and weather
forecasts, the occupation is still dangerous.
- In 2014 Mount Everest ice avalanche killed 16 Sherpas;in
2015, 10 Sherpas died at the Everest Base Camp after
the avalanches in the wake of the April 2015 Nepal
earthquake. In total, 118 Sherpas have died on Everest
between 1921 and 2018.
- In 2018, Kami Rita was earning about $10,000 for each
Everest climb because of his extensive previous experience.
The highest peaks in Nepal are safe only around May of each
year; in the autumn, he guides clients up the country's
smaller peaks.
