Himalayan native (6)

I think it could be either:

nepali

sherpa

'himalayan native' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nepali that I've seen before include "one found in mountainous region" , "Language of Kathmandu" , "Foreigner" , "Asian national" , "Native of a mountainous Hindu kingdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The Sun, the Universal, The Times, the New York Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
