The Sherwi Khangba Center was built in August 1990. The whole center was built with the generous support of our dear Swiss friends through the “Verien fur die Sherpa Culture Von Lhakpa Sonam Sherpa”. In 1986 when Lhakpa was undergoing medical treatment in Switzerland he had to stay another 7 month for the rehabilitation after the surgery. When he lost his hearing capabilities, Lhakpa undertook research work on Sherpa culture and the Sherpa mountaineers, initially intended for a book. For the prolonged stay in Switzerland he took all the paperwork so that he could write better for the English speaking readers back in Europe. After going through all the papers and listening to his oral talks the Swiss friends found it significant to conserve the idea into a museum along with a hotel so that the museum could sustain in the long run. Thus, a committee was formed to raise the required fund.
