Municipality Arrangements for tourists to eat by the Everest area !

Buddha Bir Bahing Rai/Solukhumbu. The Khumbu Pasangalhamu Municipality has provided free food and lodging to the tourists who are lacking in the Everest region. 

Tourists visiting the Everest region are on the verge of a lockdown to avoid the Corona virus (Covid-19), a worldwide pandemic. The villagers issued a statement saying that the tourists in Namche Bazaar, Phakding and Luklabar Bazar in Khumbu area have made free living arrangements.

"We have arranged for more than 300 tourists to stay free on behalf of the villagers in Khumbu area," said Lakpachiri Sherpa, spokesperson for Khumbu Pasangalhamu Village, adding that the tourists are co-ordinated by the Lukla Hotel Association, Fakding Hotel Association and Namche Hotel Association.

Spokesman Sherpa said that the villagers will spend the entire expenditure on food and lodging for the tourists in Namche Bazaar, Phaking and Luklabazar. "We have also requested to provide free wifi to the tourists staying at the hotels which have been entered," said Sherpa, adding that the villagers have arranged for free meals and lodging as most tourists from Khumbu area have been deprived of their expenses.

More than 200 tourists have been stopped in Luklabarbazar now. Similarly, data is being collected on the fact that there are 30/35 people in Fakding and how many are in Namche Bazaar, said Sherpa. Sherpa also said that all the tourists in Khumbu area are being monitored and informed by various agencies within the village.

Meanwhile, the Embassy has initiated the initiative to return the citizens of different countries in Nepal.

Tengboche Monastery in Khumbu region.

Tengboche Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries of Nepal, probably because of its unrivalled backdrop of Mt. Ama Dablam. The monastery is the leading Buddhist centre in the Khumbu region with a residing Rinpoche who blesses pilgrims, mountaineers and travelers passing through. 

Every October, Tengboche Monastery hosts the colorful Mani Rimdu festival, which is a culmination of Buddhist celebrations with a religious gathering, songs, ritual dances and  enactments of the lives of legendary figures. Visitors are always welcomed to partake in the festivities and many trekkers book their trek to coincide with the festival. Tours of the monastery are conducted every afternoon for visitors. Tengboche lies on the very popular trek route to the Everest region.

Atop a hill across Imja Khola, Tengboche is the most common night halt after Namche. The monastery is perched on a high ridge across the canyon from Khunde. The original Tengboche Monastery was burnt down in 1989 and replaced with a more solid structure. 

Pines, azaleas and colorful rhododendrons surround the attractive gompa (monastery), with a stunning panoramic view of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.  Tengboche has many rest houses and a large number of lodges as well as spacious camping sites.

From Tengboche you can continue on to Pheriche, Kala Pattar and the hamlet of Gorakshep.  From here, the Everest Base Camp is easily reached, as is the summit of Kala Pattar (5,545 m), known for outstanding views of Mt. Everest. However, it is advisable to take time to acclimatize and avoid rapid gain in altitude to avoid altitude sickness.

Mountaineering in Neoal.

With eight of the world's highest mountains in the country, Nepal is a mountaineer's paradise. The ultimate glory of  mountaineering is reaching the summit of Mt. Everest, but there are other technical challenges like Lhose beside it or you can take on any of the other 326 climbing peaks that are waiting for you!

The Nepal Himalaya is the most formidable mountain range in the world with nearly a third of the country lying above the elevation of  3,500 m. Eight of the world's  highest peaks lie within Nepal's territory: Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna,which are all over 8,000 m above sea level. The first to be climbed among them was Annapurna in 1950 by a French Expedition with Maurice Herzog as leader while Everest was first summitted by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953 with a Bristish Expedition led by John Hunt.

Besides these eight giant peaks, there are 326 other mountains within Nepal which are open for mountaineering expeditions and out of them, 103 have never been climbed before. Nepal offers mountaineers more opportunities than any other country in the world, and throws endless challenges at them including the less glorified trekking peaks which still require climbing gear and climbing skills if you want to climb them. 

Nepal's climbing history goes back a long way starting with the early explorers from British India who were lured by lofty peaks and the challenges of climbing virgin peaks where no human had set foot before. By the 1960s Nepal's trekking and mountaineering industry was well establishhed with private companies providing all logistics including porters and guides for a full expedition that would spend months in the mountains. Today there are many companies that will take care of every aspect of mountain climbing and all the mountaineer has to do is arrive in good shape physically and mentally, prepared to take on the challenge and not worry about equipment and supplies.  Most of the Everest expeditions are handled by well-known and trusted private companies.

The reputation of the Sherpas is built on mountaineering with many of these mountain people achieving glorified status with their multiplt climbs of Everest and other 8000m peaks. Most expeditions wouldn't go up without the loyal, hardy and extremely reliable sherpas. They risk theiir lives for their clients and are often called upon to rescue a climber in trouble. Although today there are many other ethnic groups involved in the service, they are generally referred to as Sherpas.

Despite all the attention being grabbed by mountains like Everest and Annapurna, the latter more for trekking than climbing, there are other peaks being climbed on a regular basis but don't make headline news. Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Manaslu are also climbed often besides trekking peaks like Mera, Island and Yala peaks which are quite popular. Ther are also climbers looking to climb virgin peaks as Nepal from time to time, opens up new, unheard of peaks for climbing and who wouldn't want to be the first to climb! 

Nepal has designated the Annapurna, Manaslu and Kanchenjunga regions as Conservation Areas while Sagarmatha (Everest), Langtang and Shey-Phoksundo (Dolpo) are national parks while other mountain areas might not fall into these categories but are designated as ‘Restricted Areas’ as they are close to Nepal’s northern border. While the infrastructure of, and accessibility to Sagarmatha, Annapurna, Manaslu and Langtang are well developed and easily accessible enabling mountaineers and expeditions to make quick progress to their base camps the remaining areas, including the restricted areas are still very remote, where rescue or help from external sources will be difficult or unlikely and access to these areas is complex and at times difficult. Expeditions into those areas require a completely different approach, level of commitment and organizational ability to succeed on their chosen summit.

The mountains of Nepal are grouped into different categories depending on their height and under whose authority they lie. The Ministry of Tourism is responsible for the expedition peaks above 6,500 m, while the Nepal Mountaineering Association is responsible for mountains that are known as Trekking Peaks. These peaks range in altitude from 5,800 m to 6,584 m, and call for climbing skills and climbing gear and should not be taken lightly despite the misleading title. Expeditions to peaks below 5800metres do not require climbing permits although they will require other forms of permits to enter specific regions. All expeditions are required to pay refundable garbage deposits while expeditions to peaks above 6,500 m will also be required to employ a Liaison Officer. The best time for mountaineering expeditions is pre- monsoon when the weather is better, especially at altitude, although the visibility might be restricted with the pending monsoon conditions. Autumn is good for the slightly lower peaks, while winter is cold with short days and early spring might be subjected to seasonal snow storms. However, in these times of global warming and climate change, the seasons are no longer as predictable as they used to be.

Today in Nepal it is possible to book onto either a commercial expedition to attempt any of the larger mountains or to attempt a trekking peak with one of the many Nepali trekking agents. If an independent expedition wishes to attempt any of the ‘legally’ open peaks then they should read the appropriate policies and procedures legally required under the current Nepal Tourism Act (Provisions relating to Mountaineering).

Gokyo Valley in Everest region.

One of the most picturesque valleys in Nepal, the Gokyo valley lies towards the west of the more famous Khumbu region of the Himalaya. The serene valley boasts extensive pastures for yaks to graze during summer and the pristine turquoise lakes are simply breathtaking. Gokyo can be visited after trekking up to Everest Base Camp by adding another five days to the itinerary.

If Gokyo is your main destination, then the trek goes up the Everest trail only as far as the teahouses at Kenjoma (where the trail from Khumjung joins the main trail). From this point on, the trail leads up towards Mong La pass before dropping steeply back down to the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. The trail then goes past rhododendron and oak forests and waterfalls which are often frozen. A couple of hours on this enchanting trail and you arrive in Dole, where you spend the night in a teahouse.

Lodges near the Gokyo Lake with view of mountains in the Everest region, Nepal. 

From Dole, it is only four hours to Machherma. The valley that leads west above Machherma is worth a visit, and can be done in the afternoon. The valley is dominated by the unclimbed Mt. Kyojo Ri. The final trail up to Gokyo goes past teahouses at Pangkha and up the terminal moraine of the Ngozumpa glacier, which is the largest glacier in the country. Finally, just above the moraine, you will see the crystal clear lakes.

One of the eight-thousanders, Cho Oyu (8,153m) is seen towards the north from Gokyo. There are many great views all around the valley. The most popular among them is seen by ascending a ridge for 2-3 hours to the north-west to reach a small summit. Enjoy a spectacular panoramic view extending from Cho Oyu and Everest, to Lhotse all the way to Makalu. This view is arguably better than what one sees above Gorak Shep.

There are two high passes leading out of the Gokyo valley, the Cho La pass being the most traveled, which leads on to the Khumbu valley near Lobuche while the other is Renjo La pass that joins the trail between Thame and Nangpa La pass. Following the Everest trek route, one takes the alternative exit route as far as Phortse.

From here you walk along the eastern side of the valley through the village of Konar. There are no facilities available on this side of the valley until the small teahouses at Nah, a six hour trek from Phortse. Nah is a good place for camping, but for proper accommodations, one has to walk another four hours to reach Pangkha. From here follow the route described previously.

SAGARMATHA NATIONAL PARK.

Sagarmatha National Park is home to the highest peak in the world - Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Sagarmatha being the Nepali name for Everest. The area was designated a national park in 1976 and encompasses several other peaks all above 6,000 m. The park got recognition as a World Heritage Site in 1979.

With most of the park lying above 3,000 m, it is mostly rugged terrain made up of deep gorges, glaciers and massive rocks. The Park boasts of a wide variety of wildlife including more than 118 species of birds. While the forest is dominated by silver fir, birch, rhododendron and juniper trees, animals such as musk deer, the Himalayan tahr, the ghoral, the serow, the wolf, and the Himalayan black bear may be spotted by trekkers in this region.

Endangered species which are rarely seen include: snow leopard, red panda, and two kinds of dazzling pheasants - the crimson-horned and the Impeyan, Nepal's national bird. Smaller animals like marmots, pikas and martens are also found in the park.

The region ranges in altitude from less than 2,000 m above sea level at Jiri to the high peaks of the Himalaya at over 8,000 m. Hence the park’s flora and fauna is diverse with dense forest of pine, oak and the flowering rhododendrons found up to 4,000 m above sea level. The latter are one reason to make a trip to Nepal in the spring when the hills between 2,000 m and 3,500 m are a riot of colors. 

The best time to visit the park is during the autumn months of October-November and from March-May in spring/summer.

Everest area will be full lockdown tomorrow !

Solukhumbu. The world's highest peak, Everest, will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday). The Everest National Park is about to completely block the area to prevent the spread of the Corona virus (Covid-19), a pandemic worldwide.

According to the decision made by the government, officials of the hotel entrepreneurs' association located in the Sagarmatha National Park, Khumbu area, after the joint discussion, the locals of the Sagarmatha area were completely locked up, said consultant Lamakali Lama of Namche.

Although the tourist movement has increased in the Everest region since the beginning of spring, only a few tourists have reached this area this year. The WHO report states that the Corona virus, which has a high mountainous area and can live in the open for up to 7 days in the cold. Therefore, not only foreign tourists from this region, but also those from Kathmandu, have been specifically urged to stay in self-quarantine, Lama said.

The father of the incarnate Lama Dawagelagen !

Solukhumbu. Eight years ago, the son of Davaggelen and Tassifuti Sherpa of Khorshupasalhamu Village Municipality-3 was born as the second child. Born to a son, there was nothing left in the family. Davaggelsen, who owns a hotel business on the banks of the Dudhkoshi River, considered the birth of a son as 'the gift of God' when the son was born. The daughter was born four years after the birth of her daughter.

The son of a second child, Lama gave the name Sonamfinju in Nwarana. The son grew up. After two and a half years, he began to speak. As he began to speak, he started asking Dane's wallet for news about his hometown. Some would call me by name, as I have known long ago. The walker was also amazed at the way. Davaggelen and Tassi were sometimes surprised by their son's strange behavior.

“After saying a little bit more clearly, my house started to say that.” Davegljensen said, “The neighbors and everyone else guessed that Sonamfinju was not an ordinary child.” Later, the message of his activity reached the rolling monastery. It was clear to the people of Gumba that he came and confirmed that he was born as an avatar.

At the age of three and a half, he was mounted in Halsey. At the throne of the throne a son from his previous incarnation came from Rowwalling. This was his third incarnation. Rolwalingmo He was married and with family. During the second incarnation, she died due to excessive alcohol consumption. He was the third born four years after his death. He called as soon as he saw the children of the previous birth.

Now she is in the Thame monastery of Solukhumbu. The monastery is named after him. He has now started studying Buddhism. It is customary for the incarnate reader to re-read the knowledge of the previous birth. "Once upon a time, all knowledge must be read again." He said that the incarnation of the incarnation would be "instantaneous" once the avatar reads it. He said that the avatar would be able to easily identify the goods and relatives he had used in the previous life.

In Buddhism, it is generally believed that the incarnate will be born from the womb of a pure spirit soul. The incarnate Lama is not viewed as a normal llama. The avatars, who are currently born from the womb of Davaggelen and Tassi, call them father-in-law, but their parents do not call him son, they respectfully call Lama.

It is customary for her teacher (Guru) to go out of the monastery. Don't be left alone for a moment. “Sometimes," he comes to stay for just two days. " Can't lie. You cannot sit at the same level while sitting. We always have to live one level below the incarnate Lama. ”It is customary for Buddhism to be incarnate.

Claim and Tasi are happy to have their offspring born as avatars. Although they initially seemed strange, they were happy to understand later. "If only an ordinary person was born, we would have been our only son." Another incarnate Lama, formerly born in Khumbu, is in the Tiangboche Monastery. 

Namche Bazaar has changed over five decades

An old map of Namche Bazaar does not appear when capturing a photo after 45 years from the same place. Now there is a miraculous development in this place. It looks like the beginning of human settlement five decades ago, and has now turned into one of the most beautiful tourist cities in the world. The routine and standard of living of the Namche residents, who have made a living from potato, maize and sugarcane, have also changed. Not traditional farming, tourist service and modern lifestyle have become their daily routine.

The actual appearance of Namche becomes apparent when looking at the photos captured by a Japanese tourist who toured five decades ago. He was given a gift photo to Sherpjungbu Sherpa, Namche hotel entrepreneur, when he was on tour again after three years. The photo shows Sherp, who was imprisoned for five years. In that photo, Namche's real face looks like the beginning of human settlement.

Three photos taken at different times from the same place (the current helipad hill) show the development sequence of Namche. At that time potato and maize were only used for plantation and in places where subsistence is available, they can now be utilized as a developed city. In the photo captured by Sherpjungwu Sherpa from the same location again in the last 2061 years, the recent development in Namche Bazaar appears. In this image, the old house is being demolished, and some new, some old structures seem to be transformed by Namche.

The old existence of Namche cannot be found in anything, even local elders say that it is difficult to remember the old form of Namche. Khumbu Pasang, also known as the heart of Solukhumbu, is also the main route to the Namche Bazaar Everest base camp in Lhamu Municipality-5. After being able to enjoy the facilities, foreign tourists and ascents also enjoy Namche. The essentials are transported by stuffing, stealing, yak, mule and helicopter. It is also the most expensive market in the country.

Thrilling Lukla Nepal

The highest peak is taken as a doorway for climbing Everest, the Lukla of Solukhumbu. For mountaineering, it was a secret entrance, it is a must to travel to the base camp and travel around. Lukla is also the gateway to the internal and external tourists arriving at Namche. Internal and external tourists are crowded, Lukla. There are also many foreign faces. Local residents say local tourists are losing out due to the expensive shutdown.

In the fog

Lukla Bazaar is spread over a small plains area surrounded by hillsides. That's it, Lukla Airport. Lukla is the first destination of all who pass through Kathmandu. Foreign and indigenous tourists must visit Lukla for the Khumbu area tour. Therefore, Lukla is called the gateway to the Everest region. Lukla's climate, at an altitude of 2,860 meters, is momentarily changing. By 11am, the weather is comparatively clear. As the day progresses, Lukla gets covered with a fog. Sometimes from the morning, the robes of the ax are looted.

Expensive food and accommodation

There is no inconvenience of living in Lukla. Not only the level, there are also many hotels that are suitable for everyone. The locals have operated hotels in Khumbu area to accommodate the tourists and their helpers and porters. According to Raphael Chiring Sherpa, operator of Hotel Everest View, a businessman from outside Solukhumbu along with locals, including Lukla, is also operating a hotel. According to the tourist pressure, the rate of food and livelihoods is changing. It is more expensive than elsewhere. Foods of interest are available.

Exciting air travel

Air travel is the only way to reach Lukla. Air service is available from Tribhuvan Airport in Kathmandu and Manthali Airport in Ramechhap. Due to the disturbance of the weather, it usually flies in the morning. Kathmandu-Lukla flight is full of exciting things. It is located at the world's 10 riskiest airports. On this route, 19 seats aboard the ship. As the ship flies near the cliffs and falls, the passenger may feel cold and fearful. Depending on the wind speed and the weather, the ship will also move. If Lukla's weather changes and the plane is unable to land, the ship also returns to Kathmandu. Normally the Kathmandu-Lukla flight is 40 minutes. From Manthali one can reach Ulala in 20 minutes.

Materials required

If you are traveling to Lukla, you should prepare yourself for the trip to the Himalayan region. There is always snow on the mountains above Lukla Bazaar. So the weather is cold. Do not forget to carry body clothing, sports shoes or trekking shoes, trousers, hats, thick socks. Also, it is important to carry a regular diet that you eat. Not only that, it is helpful to carry medications like general headaches such as headache, diarrhea, painkillers, vixes, gastric lowering.

Additional preparation

It is difficult to return from Lukla at the default time. In some cases the flight may not be even a week. So the extra cost of traveling to Lukla has to be paid. Along with this, clothing and other accessories must be adequately carried. So be prepared mentally as well.

Khumjung (3780M) & Namche (3440m) villages.

Located 20 minutes away from Hotel Everest View, Khumjung is the largest Sherpa village in the Khumbu region. Carved into the hillside at the foot of the sacred Mt. Khumbu-yul-Iha (5761m), the village has a monastery that displays a scalp claimed to be from a yeti (abominable snowman) and a school founded by Sir Edmund Hillary. It is also possible to visit the traditional Sherpa houses as there are still a few remaining in this village.

For those interested in spotting the Danphe (Impeyan Pheasant - Nepal’s national bird), the jungles nearby Khumbjung/Syangboche is a good area. This beautiful bird with multi colored iridescent plumage is generally spotted early in the morning or late afternoon. The nearby forest hosts several other species of birds and wildlife. It may be possible to see animals such as the Himalayan Tahr (wild goat) and if you are lucky, the diminutive and endangered musk deer.

Lukla Airport: Why this airport is considered scary on Everest Everest

What is the geographical position ?

The Lukla Airport has been in operation since 1959.
Later, it was renamed Tenzing-Hillary Airport to honor Everest mountaineering Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary.
It is about 2800 meters above sea level.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority, it has a length of 527 meters and a width of 20 meters, which is shorter than other airports.
There is no 'overshoot' because of the short runway. Experts say it will be difficult to land there.

How different?

In the final case, if the landing is not secure, the aircraft should be able to fly straight ahead or left at the airport, experts say.
'Overshoot' is considered to be the common standard required for airports. But Lukla has not reached that standard. Due to the short runway, the airport has been built in a different way to speed up the flight and to stop quickly during landing. Its lower part and upper part are at an angle of about 12 degrees. It varies the height of 150 feet between the two ends of the runway.
That is roughly the same height as a house.
The airport is widely regarded as one of the most feared airports in the world, with a crowd of seven hundred meters high.
Experts say that the challenge of being able to 'mark' the landing point constantly will be due to the steep slopes as the aircraft is descending at the time of landing.

What is the weather like 

Lukla Airport is considered the gateway to Everest. Being in the Himalayas, the humus and the air add complexity to the flight. So usually fly in the morning. Aviation officials say there are often no alternatives to flying, even though the rules are often broken due to weather.
It is said that as the weather is changing, it is difficult to pinpoint the location of the runway and the aircraft is tilted. With the wind blowing in the middle of the mountain near the airport, there is the challenge of controlling the ship at Chait-Baisakh. "The pilot himself should be alert in many cases when the equipment is not good for understanding seasonal details or traffic conditions," said Capt. Uddhav Ghimire of the Nepal Airlines Corporation, which has long flown Lukla.
"For every experienced pilot, every flight has a different experience." The high winds in the rain and spring add complexity here. Even after the weather is good, the wind can cause problems.

Why is Lukla busy ? 

Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the base camp on the Everest. The only transportation option for climbing Everest and hiking is by plane. Travelers often start moving from Lukla, so there is a high air pressure in the spring.
Now, as the season of mountaineering and hiking, the aircraft has increased in Lukla. In recent years, there have been more than 100 flights daily. Many flights from Lukla to Kathmandu have now been shifted to Ramechhap due to the air pressure caused by the runway repair which started at Kathmandu Airport.

A trip to the base camp

Namche Bazar

The Everest region is the main destination for foreign tourists to choose from. Those who climb the highest summit, many will quench the thirst of the mountains by hiking up to the base camp. A trip to the base camp has also begun for domestic tourists.

There are two main trails that go from the Namche Bazaar (3440 m) to the base camp (5362 m), considered to be the gateway to Everest. One way, from Namche to Gokyo Lake, passing through Chola. Next, Tengboche, Dingboche, Pangboche, Thukla, Gorkshape.

Even though there is a bumpy ride somewhere on the hike, the lasers of white snow keep adding energy before the eyes. The best place to look for Everest is the Black Stone. Himalayas, including the Everest, can be seen at 360 degrees from the black stone at an altitude of 5555 meters.

How to reach

Kalapathr

Traveling from Kathmandu to the base camp requires two weeks. The journey begins after reaching Lukla in Solukhumbu by air. On the first day from Lukla, Fakding, on the second day, Namche, the third day, Tenboche, the fourth day, Dingboche, and the fifth day reside in Gorkaspe.

Gorkshape, which is at an altitude of 5180 meters, has hotels. After walking for three hours from here, the Kalapathar and the Everest reach the base camp in two and a half hours.

Pumori
