This study area belongs to Khumbu Pasang Lhamu village municipality of Solukhumbu district. There are only married women in the age group of 15 to 49 years in Lhamu village municipality ward no. 5 have been selected. A total of 150 married women were selected as respondents for the study. Questionnaires were the main tool for data collection. Based on the research, it has been concluded that the knowledge and practice of safe motherhood in Sherpa women is satisfactory. The vaccination of mother and child was satisfactory. It has been found that the pregnant woman was taken to the health post saying that she was pregnant for a long time. This may be the solution to the problem that women face during childbirth. Most women have seen their baby's navel cut satisfactorily at home or elsewhere. Most pregnant mothers breastfeed their newborn for only two years. Parents were found to have fed the most popular food for
weaning. It has been found that most of the women are involved in hotel business. Most women had problems with vomiting, constipation, and vaginal bleeding. After delivery, most respondents participated in vaccination and vitamin days. If a woman gives birth to a normal child, the normal house opens. Most women have
been found to use temporary contraceptives. Women in the age group of 20 to 24 years were found to have gone to the maternity hospital. It helps in birth control. The overall practice of those responsible for safe motherhood was adequate and needed to be improved through public awareness and access to health care. Also, culture plays an important role in this regard. Therefore, changing economic listing and unscientific
cultural practices is necessary to promote safe motherhood behavior. This community should be supported in safe motherhood, prenatal and postnatal care services. Fearing the Himalayan district, it would have been better to run a safe delivery program for women in this place.
