Nepal is known as “Land of The Himalaya” the world over. There are 1,310 peaks above
6000 meters of which 238 are already opened for climbing. Likewise, of the fourteen
8000 meters peaks eight of them, including the highest peak in the world, Mount
Everest is in Nepal. The other seven namely are Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho
Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna. The trek to Gokyo, Gokyo Ri and the crossing
of the Renjo La Pass is probably the only trail in the world where the mighty and
magnificent Himalayan giants can been seen at such close proximity.
When questioned why he wanted to climb Everest Mallory replied :- “Because its there”;
but it took more than 3 decades and in this period more than 20 expeditions tried
but failed to summit the mighty magnificent Mt. Everest. Finally on May 28th 1953
– Mt. Everest was first conquered by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary and till
date 1300 climbers has reached the ‘Top of the World’.
