Hi Mariuca,
I think their way of life have not change much just that their dressing have possibly improved somewhat.. The still rely on porters as there is no road for cars up there, the demand is still there. I would say porter rather than Sherpa, but I may be wrong too.
Best regards

Hi colorcarnival,
This was taken during my trek to Everest Base Camp, Nepal. we encounter many porters carrying loads up and down the mountain and valley. They are both friendly and warm, shot while they were resting while they were chatting amoung themselve. Many uses Yak or even donkey as well but this is their basic work to bring some money home. Glad you like it.
Best regards
