A Sardar or Sirdar is a Sherpa mountain guide who manages all the other Sherpas in a climbing expedition or trekking group. The Sirdar is typically the most experienced guide and can usually speak English fluently. The Sirdar's responsibilities include: * assigning responsibilities to the other guides * hiring and paying local porters * purchasing local food during the trek/expedition * making the final decision regarding route choices * handling other trip logistics such as dealing with government officials or police. The normal progression to Sirdar usually involves starting as a porter, working their way up to being a kitchen assistant, on to an assistant guide and then finally to Sirdar. Sirdars do not normally carry loads but will do so on occasion such as carrying the pack of a client who is having difficulties from altitude sickness. ==See also== *List of Mount Everest guides 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sardar (Sherpa)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
