If we define medieval as a "world lit only by fire" then the world of Sherpas is indeed medieval. A wood fire burns in the kitchen, but without a chimney. Smoke slowly seeps out the glass-less windows. At one of them the Sherpa woman is inspecting roof-dried grains for dirt and grit. At night bedrolls are laid down for sleeping.
