The Sherpa are an ethnic group living in the most mountainous region of Nepal. They have adapted and thrive in one of the harshest climates in the world. It is from these roots that the Sherpa Adventure Gear brand draws its inspiration and tests its gear. The company utilizes the latest technical materials and designs and also weaves in a rich heritage of time-honored beliefs and humility.
Each item includes small prayer flags to help you achieve balance between the sky, water, wind, and the earth and is finished off with the Sherpa logo, which is an endless knot, symbolizing the connectedness of all things on earth.

The Mast Store in Asheville is hosting a Celebration of Nepalese Culture on Friday, March 31 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. This special event will feature Nepalese foods and a presentation by Pema Sherpa, the daughter of Tashi Sherpa, the founder of the company. Folkmoot, Western North Carolina’s international festival, will also be there with information on this year’s celebration. Please
