DOCUMENTARY
Das Geheimnis der Sherpas
The Sherpas' Secret
Gertrude Reinisch
This documentary traces the history of the Sherpas back to their origins in eastern Tibet, visiting regions that have never
been seen by an outsider. The reason why the Sherpas left their fruitful land and settled in the barren mountainous region
around Mount Everest is still unknown. Were there religious motivations, such as their search for the land of Beyul, the paradise
on Earth? Or was this a flight from Mongol plundering or raids by the Popas or Khampas? Why is nothing mentioned in the clan's
ancient writings? Could the Sherpa monastery of Pagboche supply some evidence or even the answer? The purpose is to find clear
answers to these questions.
