Introduction:
The Himalaya is the greatest mountain system in the world. It stretches 2400 km (1,500 miles) from east to west. A Himalayan peaks is above 20,000 ft (6000m) in height and there are over thousand of such peaks.
The allure of danger, the mystery of unknown, the sheer beauty of majestic peaks around and above all an urge to experience the challenge of climbing world's highest mountains have attracted thousand of climbers to tread the icy Himalayan slopes.
The first steps toward Himalayan climbing were taken in 19th century, and several expedition teams were able to make important experiments and significant progress in climbing Mt. Everest, Nanga parbat and K2. However it was only after the opening of the Nepal Himalayas, followed by the successful ascents of first peak over the height of 8000m - Annapurna(8091m) by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal in 1950 and Mt. Everest on 1953 by Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, the mountaineering activities in the Himalayas started to gain wider popularity.

Well I don’t know what’s in you’re mind. But it’s really shocking for as that you finished raj roll like this. I really don’t know what’s going on this.
Good brief and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you for your information.
Hello. I am really hoping that you can help me, but after 19 years of trying, I'll try anything!
A friend has just returned from Everest Base Ccamp, and he failed me...! Since 1991, when i was in Nepal, I have been looking for a poem that I read on a tea house wall (and didn't have the presence of mind to write down!). It was about 'knowing a mountain', and to do so you had to see it in all seasons. About the size of a mountain, and how to see the size you needed to see it from afar, but to appreciate the size you need to get close. All that kind of imagery.
I even wrote to the Nepali Times to ask for help, but that was in 2004, and still I search. I have just done another search on the net to hope to find it, and came across your site. Unfortunately I have no memory of the name of the guest house I saw the poem in, but I know it was in Pokhara.
I'm sure you can imagine, but after 19 years of looking I'm not giving up!
I hope you can help but, if you can't, Namaste!
