The Dangers Of 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

In the video “Into Nepal – A Journey through the Kathmandu Valley,” there were many concepts that were easily recognizable due to the information that was given during the first semester of the AP Human Geography course.

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.

Two noticeably famous people who have climbed the ruthless mountain Everest, Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmand Hillary, are possibly the best 2 climbers that have been around, and If I had to choose between the two, I would pick Norgay. When deciding between the two I had to think about several things, and one of them is the advantages of having both people with myself. Nonetheless, I concluded that they were both bold and that they were willing to do anything to go 29,000 feet. They were both someone who knew about the land, and knew what to do, and not what to do. “At that great moment for which I had waited all my life, my mountain did not seem to me a lifeless thing of rock and ice, but warm and friendly and loving.” (Norgay Page 42) Even

In this novel, the reoccurring theme of responsibility is prevalent throughout Krakeur’s ascent up the “third pole” of the world, Mt. Everest. It is responsibility that eventually leads John’s climbing guide to drive himself to death as he struggles to lead his clients up the mountain. This theme shows us that a hiking guide should provide the utmost care and satisfaction to his clients throughout the climb, but should refrain from doing so when the guides own health is in a significant amount of danger. Even other fellow clients and climbers should be able to depend on each other for aid and safety, but never at the risk of their own life. The actions of Andy Harris, Krakauer’s climbing guide, and his bold determination to care for the survival and well-being of his clients, make us question the depths to which a person should go to care for other people before caring for themselves.

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer shares Jon’s first hand experience of one of the most dangerous seasons of climbing on Mount Everest. Krakauer himself experienced the tragedies of 1996 on Everest because he was writing an article for Outdoor Magazine about the commercialization of Everest. Multiple guides during this season suffered from having an over-abundance of pride which often led them to making questionable decisions that ultimately led to the deaths of not only climbers but also guides. Hubris found among Rob Hall, Scott Fischer, and Anatoli Boukreev helped cause the tragic events to transpire on the 1996 Everest expedition.

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

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

Everest provides opportunities to the Sherpas “ Economically Sherpas make up to 6,000 each climbing season , which typically runs from March through May.”(Mandelbaum 1 ) . Sherpas do have opportunities with income but everything is not guaranteed keep in mind that sherpas do have a dangerous job . Their jobs require a lot “Sherpas are expected to lead less skilled climbers . While Sherpas continue to carry typical climbing gear , including tents and ropes , they are now also expected to transport unnecessary luxury items including espresso machines , heated carpets and plastic flowers to display at the base camp” ( Mandelbaum 2). Sherpas up carry a lot of responsibility during the climbing season . One of which to keep themselves safe as well as the clients . Yet , “The Nepalese governments and western outfitters stand to benefit economically from the climbing industry( Mandelbaum 3) . All the Sherpas can do is continue to use their great abilities and push on more to their government

Sir Edmund Hillary’s, View from the Summit and Tenzing Norgay’s, The Dream Comes True were very interesting articles on Mount Everest. Climbing though the chilling Himalayas, they had to overcome difficult obstacles. In each of their essays, they have some things they agreed upon, and some they did not. Each perspective brings out a sharp contrast in the personality of both of these men. They did share several similarities like a few of the obstacles they had to overcome. Two of these obstacles were the navigation of the steep section also known as a crag and the clotting of ice around oxygen equipment.

Ever since Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, became the first people to reach the summit of Mount Everest, people seeking adventure from all over the world have flocked to Nepal in attempt to reach the top of the world. Of the thousands of people who have attempted to climb Everest, a little over four thousand have reached the top. Although, since Edmund’s first ascent in 1922, 265 people have died between the first accent and 2014, according to Tina Gardner of the British Mountaineering Council. Many of these deaths have been due to the ever increasing crowds on Everest. People that have no mountaineering experience are trying to reach the top, but in their pursuit they are putting many people's lives in danger. Ever since the worst year in Everest’s
