A Trek in Nepal [04:05]
The Himalaya - Roof of the world. After setting down in Kathmandu and alighting from the big silver bird, we bussed to the Annapurna circuit. Our journey went counter clock wise. From terraced slopes to the Thorang Pass up into thin air at over 5400 meters. Through both Hindu and Buddhists cultures. We hauled our own gear on our own backs. Unlike some lazy rich bastards who hired porters to lug their crap, while traipsing around carrying only cameras. The musical accompaniment is Instinctive Traveler by Dissidenten.

World's 7th Highest Mountain from the Air - Dhaulagiri [01:37]
On my flight from Kathmandu, Nepal to New Delhi, India, I took a seat on the starboard side (right) of the aircraft to be able to view the 7th highest mountain in the world - Dhaulagiri. Dhaulagiri is the seventh highest mountain in the world at 8167 metres (26795 ft) and is one of fourteen over eight thousand metres. Dhaulagiri, is located in Nepal, and the parent peak for this mountain is the K2. It was a cloudy day and the although I've seen clearer views of this mountain before, nevertheless, this was equally breathtaking. This mountain is a part of the Himalayan Range all along Nepal, India, and China. Also visible in this video is the Annapurna range(ranked 10th in the world). Annapoorna/Annapurna (8091m/26545 ft) is only 34 km. east of Dhaulagiri and the gorge between the two is considered to be Earth's deepest. From Wikipedia: The mountain's name is धौलागिरी (dhaulāgirī) or धवलागिरी (dhawalāgirī) in Hindi and Nepali. This comes from Sanskrit where धवल (dhawala) means dazzling, white, beautiful and गिरि (giri) means mountain. It is often called Dhaulagiri, denoting the highest summit in its massif called Dhaulagiri Range (Nepali: श्रृंखला, shrinkhalā), Dhaulagiri Himāl (Nepali: हिमाल) or The Dhaulagiris. This massif extends 120 km from the Kaligandaki River west to the Bheri. Dhaulagiri is the easternmost high peak. Dhaulagiri is also the highest point of the Gandaki river basin. Annapurna (Sanskrit, Nepali, Nepal Bhasa ...

The sleek bridge at the base camp, Everest Expedition! [01:04]
The climatic conditions in the Sagarmatha region change without prior signs. The team gears up for the summit attempts as the weather clears up and the men set out for the top. There is no time to waste, it's a now or never situation as the teams climbing permit expires by the end of the month may 2001. Indian Army added another feather to its cap in May 2001, when its mountaineers successfully scaled Mount Everest and put a record eight members and seven Sherpas on the summit. This is the largest number of summiteers on Mount Everest in an Indian expedition. The mighty mountain ranges of the Himalayas have, over the centuries, inspired not only man's imagination and spiritual quest, but also his spirit of adventure. Mount Everest, the tallest of the peaks of the Himalayas as also the whole world, stood in its unattainable isolation for thousands of years, till Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered it in 1953. Since then, at least a thousand climbers have set foot on it. That at least 200 have lost their lives while trying to scale the peak speaks of the infinite dangers involved in the task. The Indian Army Mount Everest Expedition was flagged off by the Chief of the Army Staff on 1st March 2001 at New Delhi. It was led by Col. Krishan Kumar. After flagging off, the team moved to Nepal and after a long trek from Jiri, reached Base Camp of Everest on 3rd April 2001. The stocking and establishment of various camps was completed by 10th May 2001 and summit attempts ...
