Trekkers pass through spring snow in Sagarmatha National Park [01:23]
Team members making their way through late winter early spring snow in the Sagarmatha National Park, towards the Base Camp of Everest. They pass through glorious forests of Rhododendrons while yaks carry their rations and other camp gear. 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 team's 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 ...

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.
