One of the two great mountaineers who stepped on top of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain of the world for the first time, Tenzing Sherpa was born in Nepal at Solokhumbu. He along with Edmund Hillary of New Zealand reached the top in 1953 as the members of British Expedition party which was led by Col. Hunt. Interested in climbing right from his childhood, Mr. Sherpa attempted for several times to get there and at last achieved success on his eighth attempt. He was accorded historic welcome in Nepal, India and many other countries as a hero who conquered the height of nature on behalf of mankind as a whole.
