US SHERPA INTERNATIONAL produces the finest artisan-made goods that have been handcrafted in Nepal. 
As a native of Nepal, I have seen and experienced poverty. Growing up, my mother would knit hundreds of wool hats, gloves, and socks in order to bring income to the family while my father led countless expeditions as a Sherpa guide. With the need for comfort, warmth, and outdoor technicality of products, my mother knitted goods that suited perfectly for the arduous climbs.
With the basis of this concept in mind and the generosity of others, US Sherpa International was founded right here in Burlington, VT.  The foundation of our company is to provide handcrafted goods as well as guided trekking services to Nepal.
We believe in value and strive to practice fair trade principles by creating sustainable jobs and producing meaningful and durable products.
Over the years, we have been able to provide jobs for hundreds of Nepalese producers and have become uplifted from being economically disadvantaged and marginalized. With huge help from the artisans of Nepal, we have had the opportunity to continue displaying and distributing handcrafted products to communities all around.
