On the way to the Khumbu Glacier
There are many mountaineering and trekking companies in the city of Kathmandu. The porters are generally Thamang who assist the caravan that starts in Kathmandu to the Khumbu Glacier. Interestingly, the Thamangs are neither Indian nor Mongoloid. The Thamangs are a charming and friendly people. The heavy loads are then transfered by the Sherpas who continue on the trek.
