The New Year is called 'Losher' in Sherpa.
Sherpa New Year is known as "Gyalwa-Loshar" and this is similar to the New Year observed in many Northern and Southern Asian countries like Japan, Tibet, Mongolia, and China etc.
Each of these countries has their own ways of celebrating the New Year.
Some places in Tibet, in the 1st of 11th month children playfully celebrate the New Year. This is called "Tola-Loshar".
Some people celebrate the New Year on the 1st of 12th month, which is called "Sonam-Loshar" (Peasant's new year).
Gyalwu Losher is in the time of farming and at some places it does no coincide. So they are not like the Gyalwu Losher and not generally prevalent in the Sherpa Community.
In Losher, The children and grand children offer scarf to the parents and parents in return give presents to the children, the neighbors go to each other's house to share the warmth of the New Year and is celebrated with prayers flags and happiness by all.
