  • Everest Base Camp Trek Via Jiri
    Everest Base Camp Trek via Jiri Duration: 22 Days Altitude: 5545m Starts At: Kathmandu Ends At: Kathmandu Grade: Moderate Group Size: Min 2 People Accomodation: Hotel And Local Lodges Meals: Breakfast Transport: Place, Car, Jeep Highlights Hike through the classic expedition route to Mount Everest Scenic drive along the bank of Sunkoshi River. Passing through Forest and Typical Buddhist Villages Great Acclimatization for Everest Trek Splendid view of Mt. Everest (Highest Peak in the world) and other eight thousand meters above peaks. City guided tour to the UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu city. Breathtaking view of Khumbu ice-fall. Overview Everest Base Camp Trek via Jiri is a classic route that was followed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa during their first summit of Everest in the 1954 expedition’s history. Most trekkers on this venture to EBC through Jiri will surely like what they see of the landscapes on the way to EBC in comparison to the route via Lukla airport. This is a wonderful hike through natural settings laden with pretty villages & rich culture. This trip involves a lot of hiking that’s pretty moderate to challenging, but you’ll like this outdoor vacation that offers an assortment of features that begin from the moment we reach Jiri & hit the trails to Junbesi & onwards to Nunthala, Jorsalle & Namche. The Everest region is home to some of the highest peaks on earth, but there’s much more to all this; the Sherpas who settled here hundreds of years ago shaped their out a way of life under the towering peaks which they believe is home to the Gods, and to hike through their villages early in the morning & see them burn junipers to drive away evil spirits with the shining silver-grey peaks that surround them is an experience you don’t want to forget.

  • Dissertation Assessment of Run-Of-River Hydropower Potential
    Dissertation Assessment of Run-Of-River Hydropower Potential and Power Supply Planning in Nepal using Hydro Resources ausgeführt zum Zwecke der Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der technischen Wissenschaften unter der Leitung von Univ. Prof. Dr. - Ing. Christian Bauer E302 Institut für Energietechnik und Thermodynamik eingereicht an der Technischen Universität Wien Fakultät für Maschinenwesen und Betriebswissenschaften von Iswor Bajracharya, M.Sc. e1129962 1200 Wien, Brigittenauer Lände 6639 Wien, im April 2015 Abstract The basic premise for the development of water resources in the country is the availability of accurate and reliable information about the resources. Nepal is rich in water resources but, lacks the reliable information about the hydro potential. The first estimation of the theoretical hydro potential was done about 5 decades ago with limited data and analysis tools. Since then very few studies have been done in this field. Therefore, the first part of this study estimates the theoretical run-of-river hydropower potential of Nepal. A GIS- based spatial tool and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) hydrological model have been used to estimate hydro potential. The estimated total theoretical run-of-river hydro potential of Nepal is 119,185 MW at 30% flow exceedance and 103,341 MW at annual mean flow. Although large numbers of hydropower plants are currently under-construction, it is unlikely that the growing electricity demand in the country can be met from these power plants at the current rate of development. Therefore, the second part of this study deals with the power generation and expansion planning of Nepal for the period 2015- 2030.
