The only Nepalese to feature in Time100 of this century and the
most reknowned Sherpa in the world, Tenzing Norgey, acc to a
new book, wasn't born in Nepal, and was a Tibetan who migrated
to Nepal after an economic hardship.See the following website:

It seems like he spent a really checkered life. He had accepted
the support from Indian government after his successful ascent
of Mt Everest,and ,as long as I think, died as Indian citizen!
Citizenship aside, he is/was a great Tenzing and made all of
us proud!
