Speech About Trekking In Nepal

One of the many reasons that people want to make their way up the gigantic and intimidating mountain is because of the beauty that has been reported as one of the top places to see the most magnificent sights. This is why a lot of the population who have climbed the mountain have done just that. They wanted to have the experience of standing on top of Mount Everest looking over what they just climbed and staring at pure beauty. Although several have been said to find the scenery one hundred percent worth the vigorous climb, many also say they were disappointed on what they come across once reaching the top. Several have been said to reach the top of this mountain and

Picture yourself climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest. Many people have successfully scaled this mountain, but others have tried and failed. Mt. Everest has been called a Himalayan Wonder because of its geography and weather extremes (Urmann). By exploring the geography, the people who have tried to climb it, and the supplies you will need, one can see how brave the many people who tried to climb it have been.

In 1996, any person could challenge themselves to climb Mt. Everest, and that was not a very smart decision. “...ushering a gaggle of relatively inexperienced amateurs […] into an apparent death trap?”(1.8) This speaks about how the government rules were so lenient that people would walk in just to find themselves dead. People without the proper training and vitals such as immune system were able to risks their lives for an achievement. There should be some type of background check to see who is a caple to climb the mountain because people will die, such as they did die. Nepal was careless to let people who aren't up or ready for the risks up the

In the year 1953, late May, two climbers finally reached the summit of their expeditions. Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay gazed down from the tallest summit on earth at the valleys surrounding them and sighed a breath of relief, as they were the first people to ever ascend the beast known as Everest. 46 years later Jon Krakauer’s book “Into Thin Air” tells of the harrowing and demanding road to the peak of Everest. I bet you are probably thinking what would prompt these smart men and women to put themselves into such a hard and narrowly survivable situation. In this paper we will go over a couple of the reasons that causes people to climb Everest. First personal achievement, Secondly glory and fame, and Third Adrenaline rush or The pull

The Dangers of Mount Everest and How to Be Safe When Encountering the Dangers By: Prisha Patel

In the article it says , “ Nepalese government would provide a pittance of 40,000 rupees , or US410 “ (Morrow 1). This explains that the Sherpas are being neglected in insurance claims for greivance and not being fully satisfied with the funds that the Napalese goverment are providing them for their services. In the article it also says , “ In Nepal , the average person makes less than 700$ each year (Mandelbaum 1). There is obviously a problem due to the fact that the government is pocketing about 20 million dollars in permit while the Sherpas are being placed into extremely dangerous situations. Lastly , another concern is the retrieval of dead bodies during the hike up everest. The Sherpas are becoming upset due to the fact that they cannot retrieve the dead. In the article it says , “ each of these villages there are houses with missing men where widows and orphans have had their husbands and fathers taken from them by the mountain “ (Morrow 4). This explains the grieving that families have to endure due to tragic accidents on top of Everest. Another issue is that there must

Mount Everest is the most beautiful mountain to look at in plain sight, but it is also questionable what happens when people try to get on top of Mount Everest just to have a better scenery of the whole world or have finally completed their quest. In all circumstances, those chances of getting to the top of Mount Everest are heightened to a minimum persistence. In this article of “Time for a Break on Everest”, “The falling ice hit twenty-five men, killing sixteen of them…” (Source #2). In the current situation, the weather and the dangers are known to be unpredictable. In that case, it will make some of the most skilled climber, die due to unpredicted natural causes.

Not only climbing Mount Everest can affect the climber, environment, but it can affect the local population of Nepal. According to the textbook Geography Alive! Regions and People it says on page 422 “ Porters are sometimes overworked and they are mistreated.” It is clearly testified that not everyone is nice to the porters, when they are only trying to help the climber climb safe to the summit. Another evidence, on page 216 from the book Peak, where it says “I had seen a dead person, let alone a frozen dead person.” Peak has testified that he saw a corpse just laying down face down on the cold snow on camp 4. This was new to him because he was not expecting this new thing for him. Concluding with this, climbing Mount Everest is not the best

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is an essential part of the route for every Everest summit attempt. There are various Everest Base Camp treks and most begin with a flight into Lukla airport at a height of 2860 metres. Each of these trekking routes provides a picturesque and rewarding way to tackle the rise in altitude of 2500 metres to Everest Base Camp on the Nepal side, situated at 5360 metres in elevation. Importantly, these Everest treks incorporate rest days to provide trekkers and mountaineers with a chance to get used to the thinner air while enjoying the scenery on the route.

Although many Nepalese are Hindu, Sherpas practice a form of Tibetan Buddhism. Understanding their Buddhist practices helps one understand their way of life and why the Sherpas are so deeply linked to the mountains. The mountains, particularly Mount Everest, hold spiritual significance as places to come closer to enlightenment. Even the Khumbu valley is referenced in Buddhist literature as sacred.

For decades, western white men have dreamt of Himalayan climbing and mountaineering in hopes of achieving their own perceptions of “greatness,” enacting their desires, and escaping the chaos of civilizations. These international mountaineers would go to the mountains and valleys that surround the Everest and acquire the help and skills of the local ethnic group called Sherpas, whose ancestors came to northeastern Nepal from Tibet in the sixteenth century. The Sherpas would refer to the tourists as “Sahib,” or boss/master, which connotes inherent hierarchy. While the term has not been used since the 1970s, the realities of hierarchical division between the sahibs and Sherpas
