Babu Chiri Sherpa was born in Taksindu, a small Sherpa village near Salleri, the headquarters of Solukhumbu District in Nepal.
As a child he spent most of his time helping his parents on their farm.
Babu Chiri received no formal education as no schools existed in his or surrounding villages.
Babu had taught himself to read, and his life dream was to build a school.
As a boy, Chiri was amazed by the mountains that surrounded his village.
Many Sherpas support themselves by guiding and portering in the mountains.
He began his career as a climber at the age of 16 when he procured a job as a trekking porter.
On his first portering assignment he scaled the Amphu Labtsa pass.
He summited Mera Peak (6472 m) in four hours in 1985.
