Nepal - Tibet Tour ( नेपाल - तिब्बत यात्रा ) [09:27]
Kathmandu has often been by some as a flawless jewel in a unique setting. No other place in the world has the concentration of culture, art and tradition that exists in the Kathmandu valley (1300m.). Kathmandu is the crossroads for the many ethnic groups of Nepal and for visitors from all over the world every year. Nestled in the central hills of Nepal, Kathmandu is at once medieval and modern. The Kathmandu valley sprawls at the junction of two sacred rivers, Bagmati and Bishnumati. Just cross the Bagmati River to the south is Patan, on ancient city of temples, while Bhadgoon with its thousands of homes and temples shrines lies six miles to the east. More then two hundred years ago these three cities housed the Royal places of three different kingdoms that divided the valley palaces surviving today. Welcome to TIBET - a land so rich in culture tradition and steeped in religion along the far flung unique landscape, aptly called the Roof of the World. Let the age old Tibetan mysteries cast an enchanted spell that holds a visitor in thrill and excitement. The first part of the Tibet tour offers fascinating views of the incredible formation of the highest plateau of the world with awesomely beautiful rocks, cascades and canyons slightly hidden in the thin flying mists amidst the mighty presence of Mt.

Episode 168: The Kangshung Face [36:43]
Third Side's A Charm. This morning Everest finally revealed her last secret as we were able to get a clear view of her East Side, the mysterious Kangshung Face. The weather was as clear as it could possible be and the white snow covering her flanks looked dazzling in contrast to the deep blue sky. We call this tallest mountain on the planet by three names. Westerners refer to her as Everest in honor of Sir George Everest, the British Surveyor General of India during the mid 19th century. In Nepal, she's officially called Sagarmatha which literally means "forehead of the ocean" but generally interpreted to mean "Goddess of the Sky". Interestingly enough,very few actually use Sagarmatha because the name was created by the Nepali government in the 1960s as a way to infer ownership over the peak. Ah, politics. In general, the local peoples surrounding the world's tallest mountain call her by the Tibetan name of Chomolungma or Qomolanma. Of course Chomolungma means different things to different people. Some believe it to mean "Goddess Mother of Snows" or "Highest Mountain". I've also heard that it means "Big Hen" as in a female chicken with it's feathers all puffed out. Luckily, the most adhered to definition of Chomolungma is "Mother Goddess of the Universe". Whether you call her Everest or Sagarmatha or Chomolungma, the tallest mountain in the world has 3 distinct sides (the South Face, North Face and East Face) and is therefore large enough to accommodate all of them.
