In 1986 he passed away, having touched the hearts of all those he came across and having done so much for his people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Tenzing and the Sherpas of Everest' is the inspiring story of this poor and illiterate man who left his small ancestral village in a remote part of the Himalaya and through grit, courage and sheer determination climbed the world's highest mountain and consequently became a hero around the world.
