HANDCRAFTED IN NEPAL FOR THE ACTIVE, CARING & OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE!
Our logo is made up of two mountain shapes: Mt. Everest on top and Mount Mansfield on bottom: The shape is then masked into two triangles: One in red, representing the national color of Nepal, and the other in green representing the State of Vermont and the green mountains: The center section in blue, symbolizes US Sherpa—the place where the Himalayas and Green Mountains overlap.

Our Beliefs
Preserving and Sharing the Culture of Nepal
The artisans that make our products utilize production methods that go back generations. Many are made by hand, one at a time, using natural fibers that are both functional and beautiful and have been a part of the Nepalese culture for years

Environmentally Sustainable Sourcing
We use natural fibers and materials whenever possible but we do enhance some products with small amounts of fleece or other comfort adding fabrics. We keep packaging to a minimum and use materials that can be easily recycled. We avoid harsh chemicals, dyes and other environmentally damaging materials.

Fair Trade and Sustainable Jobs
Over 300 people are involved in making US Sherpa products, many of them were economically disadvantaged and marginalized. We hope to employ more people as our business grows and continue to train and educate artisans so that they are able to support their our economic ambitions. Through our trekking services we are able to visit our producers at least twice a year in order to ensure that they are being adequately paid and working in safe and empowering conditions.

Giving Back
The opportunity to start US Sherpa was the direct result of the generosity of others and we strive to continue this tradition by supporting the Himalayan Cataract Project and other organizations that provide opportunities for the disadvantaged, preserve the Nepalese culture, and protect the beauty of the natural world.

Community Partners & Friends
US Sherpa would where we are today without the support of our incredible partners and friends. US Sherpa would like to extend a huge thank you to our business partners in Nepal, our incredible and hardworking trekking staff, and the Nepalese artisans.
