  • Zum Berühmten Everest Base Camp Verbindet
    www.nepal-trails.com powered by Die hohen Gebirgspässe im Everest Gebiet üben seit Jahren eine immer größere Faszination auf die erfahrenen Trekker aus. Abseits des oft geschäftigen Treibens am klassischen Everest Base Camp Trail führen ihre Pfade hinauf bis an den Rand des ewigen Eises und mitten hinein in eine archaisch anmutende Bergwildnis. Und von den Passhöhen eröffnen sich atemberaubende Panoramen auf die Gletscherriesen des Khumbu Himal. Der Everest High Trail ist ein sorgfältig geplanter Treck, der die Überschreitung des Renjo La (5.420m) und des vergletscherten Cho La (5.360m) mit der Besteigung von zwei Fünftausender Gipfeln und der Wanderung zum berühmten Everest Base Camp verbindet.

  • Tourism and Development in Nepal Stan Stevens
    Tourism and Development in Nepal Stan Stevens Introduction The great wall of mountains that marks the frontier between South and Central Asia has often presented through the centuries a major barrier to travel, restricting the movement of people, goods, and ideas to a few key routes that are at best only seasonally practicable. But, although the ruggedness of its landscapes presented often fonrnidable difficulties of passage, this arc of the Himalaya, Karakorum, and Hindu Kush ranges has for millennia been traversed by armies and refugees, traders and migrants, emissaries and pilgrims. Across the high passes have marched Greek armies under Alexander, Mongol hordes under Genghiz Khan and Tamerlane, British forces mov- ing on Lhasa, and Chinese armies invading Nepal and India. Indian merchants carrying goods and Buddhism to the Sinkiang oases and beyond to China have found their way through the peaks, as have Silk Road caravans transporting Chinese goods west as early as the days of the Roman Empire. Marco Polo passed this way, and Hin- dus on pilgrimage to Mount Kailas in Tibet have continued to do so for untold centuries, as have Tibetans and Chinese on pilgrimage to India. The Tibetans fleeing with the Dalai LIama to India in 1959 and the Afghanis flee- ing the Russians in 1980-81 are the most recent in a series of population movements that goes back to long before the Aryans swept across the Hindu Kush in the second millennium B.C. These mountains, perhaps more than any of the other great mountain ranges ofthe world, have been the scene of an exceedingly rich epic of human history, and that history has, to an important extent, been a tale of travelers.

  • Climbing Mount Everest Postcolonialism in the Culture of Ascent
    Stephen Slemon Climbing Mount Everest Postcolonialism in the Culture of Ascent It scarcely needs saying that "Mount Everest" is «oí just "there."1 As just about every book on Himalayas mountaineering likes to point out, "Mount Everest" was hoisted into physical—and cultural— ascendency through a prodigious act of imperial technology: the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India.2 Mount Everest began as a theodolite mea- surement taken from a hundred miles away in 1847; it became a notation called "Peak XV" within an archive of survey records which reproduced the Indian subcontinent (or at least the parts the British could get at) as a vast grid of measured, criss-crossing triangles; five years later these measurements passed into the hands of two rows of mathematicians, or "computers" as they were called, seated at a long table in Calcutta, who refigured them through logarithm into the measurement of "29,002 ft."3 After this legend sets in.4 The chief computer, Radhanath Sickdhar, is said to have sent a message to the Surveyor General of India, Colonel Andrew Waugh, saying "Sir, I have discovered the highest mountain in the world" (Krakauer Into Thin Air 13; Bilham 26). Colonel Waugh reported to the Royal Geographical Society in London: "here is a mountain, most probably the highest in the world, with- out any local name that we can discover, or whose native appellation, if it have any, will not very likely be ascertained before we are allowed to penetrate into Nepaul [sic] and to approach close to this stupendous snowy mass." Waugh therefore proposed that Peak XV be named "after his respected chief and predecessor in office," Colonel George Everest.
