An ode to Sagarmatha [03:01]
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 were planned for 14-15 May. However, bad weather forced the team to return to Base Camp from Camp-II. Weather remained bad for a few days. Finally on 19th May the team started from the Base Camp for their final attempt to reach the summit. On 20th May the first summit team reached Camp-HI and the next day ...

Ode to Sagarmatha part 2 [25:03]
Indian Army Everest Expedition 2001: Ode to Sagarmatha Not another Everest expedition, you would say! But this footage has unique and interesting footage, and sub-stories. We have footage on the visually-impaired climber who summitted this summer. We have footage of Babu Chherri Sherpa, who climbed Everest eleven times before he died, a few days after our interview. He also holds the record for the fastest ascent of Everest (under 17 hours!) and the maximum length of time spent at the summit (some 21 hours!). A lot of similar interesting stories, apart from the main storyline of the Army ascent of Everest, which resulted in eleven climbers atop the summit. Shot on Digi Beta and three 3 DV cameras, between March and June 2001. Over 40 hours of footage!

Healing Ceremony with a Tibetan Shaman in Pokhara, Nepal [02:56]
In my quest for health, I left no stone unturned when I visited aa Tibetan Shaman in Tarshi Palkhiel Tibetan Refugee Settlement, located on the outskirts of Pokhara, Nepal. After the shaman was briefed on my condition (hip, shoulder and jaw pain on my left side), he donned a small headdress and began chanting and drumming. Mid-way into the ceremony he stopped briefly to add to his headdress, draping silk scarves over it, and then resumed chanting. Within moments, he was in a trance and began speaking in tongues as the spirit entered his body. He waved scarves over me as I sat in front of him on a low stool and then lunged at me twice, biting the air over my arm and shoulder. Each time, he spit out a dark gray slug-like creature onto a tin plate. The creatures wriggled, turned black, and finally stopped moving, at which point he held the tray out for me to take a photo. When he was satisfied that I had seen the "dark spirits" he'd removed from my body, he raised the plate to his mouth, swallowed the slugs, and choked them down with a shudder. Tibetan shamanism incorporates elements of Buddhism and the ancient Bon religion, the animistic belief system practiced in ancient Tibet.
