Early lifeEdit

There are conflicting accounts of his early life. The account he gave in his autobiography, accepted for several years, is that he was aSherpa born and raised in Tengboche,Khumbu, in northeastern Nepal.[5] In an interview with All India Radio in 1985, Tenzing Norgay said that his parents came from Tibet, but that he was born in Nepal.[need quotation to verify][6] According to many later alternate accounts, he was born inTibet,[7] at Tse Chu in the Kama Valley, and spent his early childhood in Kharta, nearby to the north; Tenzing went to Nepal as a child to work for a Sherpa family in Khumbu.[2][8][9][10][11][12]

Khumbu lies near Mount Everest, which the Tibetans and Sherpas call Chomolungma, which in Standard Tibetan means "Holy Mother", or the goddess of the summit.[13]Norgay was a Nepalese Buddhist; Buddhism is the traditional religion of the Sherpas and Tibetans.

His exact date of birth is unknown, but he knew it was in late May by the weather and the crops. After his ascent of Everest on 29 May 1953, he decided to celebrate his birthday on that day thereafter. His year of birth, according to the Tibetan calendar, was the Year of the Rabbit, making it likely that he was born in 1914.[5]

Norgay was originally called "Namgyal Wangdi", but as a child his name was changed on the advice of the head lama and founder ofRongbuk Monastery, Ngawang Tenzin Norbu.[14] "Tenzing Norgay" translates as "wealthy-fortunate-follower-of-religion". His father, a yak herder, was Ghang La Mingma (d. 1949), and his mother was Dokmo Kinzom (who lived to see him climb Everest); he was the 11th of 13 children, most of whom died young.[5]

Tenzing ran away from home twice in his teens, first to Kathmandu and later Darjeeling, India, at that time the starting point for most expeditions in eastern Himalaya. He was once sent to Tengboche Monastery to become a monk, but he decided that was not for him and departed.[15] At the age of 19, he eventually settled in the Sherpa community in Toonsong Busty in Darjeeling.
