Abstract
Presently work seeks to value the existence or not of variations in different kineantropometric parameters in individuals villagers of the valleys of the near Nepal to the highest mountains, during the course of an expedition to the Everest. 30 fellows were continued along an expedition to the North face of the Everest. Of the 30 selected fellows, 10 belonged to the ethnos Sherpa, 10 at the Tamang and the 10 remaining they were European mountaineers. We don't meet with significant differences among those subjetc of the ethnics Tamang and Sherpa in none of the analysed values, existing differences however among those subject of these ethcnis and the Europeans. The decrease grade in the considered parameters depends on the acclimatization capacity; this way, as much as adult is this minor it will be decrement.
