Nepal represents a blend of ancient history, vibrant cultures and scenic grandeur. Located between China and India, Nepal’s main geographical features include show-capped peaks, lower mountains, mid hills and fertile plains of tropical jungles. Nearly one-third of the total length of the Himalayas and 8 of the world’s 14 highest peaks lie in Nepal. The land-locked country covers an area 147,181 sq. kilometers ranging from 70 meters to the highest point at 8848 meters above sea level. Nepal’s popularity as a tourist destination has increased vastly over the years. While trekking and mountaineering have long been popular, an entire range of other activities are also being carried out.

However, it is recommended to use the services of licensed biking companies.

local people. See them while you trek in the foothills of The Himalayas.

Mountaineering

Mountaineering is another prime attraction of Nepal. The mountains of Nepal have stood as irresistible landmarks for the world’s adventures since Nepal opened its door to visitors in the 1950s. Mountaineering can range from climbing the highest peak of the world to climbing lower peaks. Although by Himalayan standards 33 “trekking peaks” are considered minor peaks, they nonetheless provide snow and ice-climbing opportunities and are technically quite challenging. Mountaineering teams can apply for permit at mountaineering section of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism ad Civil Aviation. For further information log on to www.tourism.gov.np or www.nepalmountaineering.org .

Climbing gears can be bought or rented in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Many of the mountaineering and trekking companies also offer packages, where they provide gear, food, transportation, guides, porter services and also arrange for insurance coverage. Knowledge of altitude sickness and acclimatization process is a must for every mountaineer. The fatal sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can he dangerous for climbers ascending 3000 meters and above. Symptoms include headache, loss of appetite and sleeplessness. Immediate descent or evacuation to lower altitude is the best cure.

Nepal Mountaineering

Hot Air Ballooning

To look up into the sky and see the towering mountains of the Himalaya, or even walk amongst them, is a valid and popular reason to visit Nepal. However, to glide silently amongst them is perhaps the most thrilling of all. The adventure of hot air ballooning is now available from Kathmandu. The balloon will float approximately 1,200 to 1,500m above the valley, bringing passengers close to 3,000m high. From this altitude the entire Himalaya Range can be viewed due to the 360 degree visibility hot air ballooning affords, together with fantastic views of the Kathmandu valley below.

Die Trying by Bo Parfet and Richard Buskin.

Posted by himalman On 9/21/2009 07:14:00 am 1 comments

In the world of mountaineering and adventure, the Seven Summits is one of the most sought after goals. In Die Trying by Bo Parfet and Richard Buskinorder to complete the challenge, a climber must successfully climb the tallest mountains on all seven continents. The list includes Kilimanjaro in Africa (19,340 feet), Aconcagua in South America (22,841 feet), Denali in North America (20,320 feet), Mt. Vinson in Antarctica (16,050 feet), Mt. Elbrus in Europe (18,442 feet), Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia (16,024), Mount Kosciuszko in Australia (7,310 feet), and of course Mt. Everest in Asia, the tallest mountain on the planet at 29,029 feet. Sharp eyed readers will have already noted that that was eight mountains and not seven. When the original list was put together by Dick Bass, the first man to climb all of the Seven Summits, he included just the continental mountains, and thus Kosciuszko in Australia was on the list. Later, the list was amended by Reinhold Messner to to included all of “Oceania” which then added Carstensz Pyramid to the list. Most climbers do both just to cover their bases.

The Seven Summits are the the central theme for the book Die Trying by Bo Parfet and Richard Buskin, which was released earlier this year. The book follows Parfet’s quest to climb each of those mountains, as he goes on a journey of self discovery along the way.

Parfet does a competent job of telling his own story, starting as a young man who struggled with a learning disability, but over came that to go on graduate college and get a lucrative job on Wall Street. But in the midst of working many long hours, while constantly eating takeout, and slowly getting out of shape, Parfet decided he needed to put a little excitement into his life. So, he planned a trip to Tanzania to make the trek up Kilimanjaro. While in college he had done some climbing, and caught the bug, but he had never been up as high as he was on Kili, and when he reached the summit, it gave him a sense of accomplishment that ended up changing his life.

From there, Bo decided that he would move on Aconcagua, which other climbers told him was a nice test to see if he could handle even higher altitudes. At that time, he wasn’t even considering the Seven Summits, just going on a mountain adventure that would get him out away from his desk and out of his office. Parfet became creative with his approach, even using his corporate ties to do fund raising for a variety of charities that would help get him to the places he wanted to go climbing in. Not only was he getting to climb mountains, he was doing some good along the way too.

Eventually mountaineering began to become a more important part of his life, and by the time he left for Denali, his third peak in the Seven Summits, he was in better shape, carrying more appropriate equipment, and had experience level had risen dramatically. After topping out successfully on that mountain, which is often seen as a warm-up for Everest, he began to think about completing the Seven Summits in earnest.

Overall, I enjoyed Die Trying, as it is a good read to familiarize yourself with the mountains that make up the Seven Summits, and learn the basics of mountaineering. Parfet does a good job of describing the conditions that are faced on each of the Summits, and explains the various approaches to climbing each of them as well. He also mixes in plenty of his own personality, giving the story a more accessible, personal approach. He comes across as a likable guy that you wouldn’t mind sharing a camp fire with, swapping stories into the night.

But make no mistake, this book isn’t amongst the all time great mountaineering books. It is a fun, light read, and if you’re looking for something new for your bookshelf, then by all means, give this one a go, just don’t expect Into Thin Air or even Dick Bass’ own Seven Summits, which I preferred to this book, although it is a bit dated now. For a fun adventure story though, you could do a lot worse.

XIV Przegląd Filmów Górskich im. Andrzeja Zawady.

Już po raz czternasty Centrum Kultury i Rekreacji w Lądku Zdroju organizuje Przegląd Filmów Górskich im. Andrzeja Zawady. Tegoroczna edycja odbędzie w dniach 18-20 września 2009 w kilku obiektach tego pięknego uzdrowiskowego kurortu.ladek_zdroj logo

Tradycyjnie, główna jego część będzie miała miejsce w Kinoteatrze, gdzie wyemitowane zostaną wszystkie festiwalowe filmy i zaprezentowane diaporamy. Warto zwrócić uwagę, że najciekawsze filmowe propozycje zza granicy pochodzą z festiwalu w Kendal. Jak co roku, pokazany zostanie bogaty zestaw diaporam, tym razem będzie ich 7!

W Kinoteatrze również funkcjonować będzie główne biuro przeglądu. W ramach części muzycznej lądecki Amfiteatr Zdrojowy w sobotni wieczór gościć będzie supergwiazdę z Republiki Czeskiej, czyli funkowo-rockowe “-123 Min.”. Jeszcze tego samego wieczoru w chacie góralskiej przy ośrodku Geovita w ramach festiwalowych peregrynacji muzycznych i tanecznych zagra kolejna odjazdowa kapela.

Jednym z ważniejszych, “niefilmowych” punktów programu, jest spotkanie z Anną Milewską, znaną aktorką, żoną Andrzeja Zawady. Wieczór autorski odbędzie się w zdrojowej kawiarni “Albrechtshalle” pierwszego dnia przeglądu o godz. 20.00. Spotkanie promować ma ostatnią książkę Anny Milewskiej, “Życie z Zawadą”.

Inną pozafilmową propozycją organizatorów jest “Lądeckie Namche Bazar” (nazwa od nepalskiej miejscowości, która jest ostatnią osadą w drodze na Mount Everest), czyli targowe miasteczko, w którym będzie można nabyć egzotyczne wyroby z Indii, Chin, Nepalu i Tybetu. Poza tym wschodnim bazarem nie zabraknie oczywiście stoiska firmy “HiMountain”, głównego sponsora imprezy.

Jako nowości w świecie sportów ekstremalnych zaprezentowane zostaną pokazy slackline i freetree. Linoskoczkowie i arboryści obiecali, że będzie można w obu tych dyscyplinach spróbować własnych sił. Natomiast dla wszystkich niespokojnych dusz przewidzieliśmy pokazy i warsztaty tai chi. Jeśli jednak tai chi nie uspokoi duszy, będzie można wybrać się na spacer nowymi Trasami Kuracyjnymi, których oficjalne otwarcie planujemy w festiwalową niedzielę.

Atrakcji przygotowanych przez lądeckie Centrum Kultury będzie sporo. Każdy zatem, kto choć w niewielkiej mierze czuje więź z górami, znajdzie podczas festiwalu coś dla siebie.
