Garbage Mountain. How commercialising is killing Mount Everest.
For many, Mount Everest stands as the pinnacle of human achievement, the ultimate test of courage and endurance. The dream of conquering this behemoth has captivated hearts for generations. However, the reality of Everest is far from the romanticized image projected in movies and documentaries. Everest is a treacherous mountain, and the pursuit of this “dream” for the debutante mountaineer can turn into a deadly nightmare. This story implores you, the ambitious youth of India, to carefully consider the immense dangers of climbing Everest before risking your life for a fleeting moment of glory.

Well described narration of this tragedy. I am heart broken once again by listening to this. I have climbed a few times with Martin Moran and also once with Chetan Pandey and John McLaren, three of the eight who passed away in this tragedy and also with Mark/Zac/Ian, three of the four who had gone to set the route on ND-E. So the tragedy hit hard. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the climbers involved in the tragedy and salute the rescue teams for the difficult task of performing the recovery of the bodies. Martin was a fantastic climber and a great human being. I was with him on three of his expeditions in the Indian Himalaya and have also climbed with him in Scotland in the winter. I had met his wife and son as well. Very heart breaking.
Exceptional!
Beautifully told, anti-hyped and with all the details one wants to know!
The mountain in the title photo of this vlog is clearly visible from Gohndla, a place across village Ghoshal. Is this the Mani Mahesh mountain? If you have any idea, please write a reply. I saw this mountain for the first time in 1975.
Good lucture but speek in hindi
Enjoy with the same
Very useful. I am doing PhD in Business Administration involving Mountaineering topic
खूप छान माहिती..❤❤
Thank you for such an enlightening presentation of your expeditions , enjoyed here in Ireland
not sure if running away is a good advice.
Awesome 👌
Amazing
Incredible scenery, the best. And all in good style. Your narrative is excellent. Thanks for the ride. Cheers.
I enjoyed the presentation very much.
Thanks a lot

Amazing man, Anindya Mukherjee. An erudite, cultured, passionate "rebel" in the true sense. RESPECT !
Westerners just always leave their trash huh
Very nice presentation, but there are a couple minor errors regarding the US expedition in 1976. First, you state that John Roskelley summited Nanda Devi 5 days after Ms. Nanda Devi Unsoeld died on the mountain. (30:15 to 30:40) In fact, John (and 2 others) summited on September 1, 1976, and Ms. Unsoeld died a week later, on September 8. Second, you state that Ms. Unsoeld's father, Willi, was so upset about the loss of his daughter, that he was found dead two years later at the bottom of a rock, perhaps by accident or suicide. (31:05 to 31:20). In fact, Willi died in a snow avalanche on Mt. Rainier, while leading a group of 20 or so students from the college where he was a professor. We cannot know whether he was suicidal at the moment in time, but it is more reasonable to conclude he was taking his leadership role seriously, and was trying to get everyone to safety in a winter storm, including himself. His group was quite close to a well-established mountain cabin (Camp Muir) when the avalanche struck. Willi decided to take a shorter, though more risky, route to safety. (One of his students died in the same avalanche; the others survived). A prior commenter, Mr. Langlois, makes a similar point.
Thank you very much for a fascinating story. I am rereading all my Nanda Devi books. I first read Tilman's book in 1976.
Please forgive me. Willi Unsoeld was killed on Mt Rainier in an avalanche while leading a group of college students down in a snowstorm Not suicide. I was on Mt Rainier that day. I worked for the Park Service and am well aware of the circumstances.. He may have made a poor decision but it was not suicide.
👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾😆, for your kind information,, chatri aama is not the only resident of GHNP,,, I am also living here with many of friends and families,,,, proud apple 🍎🍏farmers
Can't believe I'm watching this NOW .
Mesmerizing
Great to see so much unknown area..!! Thanks a lot for this valuable information. Haven't seen these treks on any known platforms. Do these treks need special permits?
It should be really only tourist access and water concern projects areas. Rest of India is already a concrete mess jungle : Eroded mountain , erosion soils, lost ecosystems, artificial Nature.
Just ❤️❤️❤️ ed the presentation Sir....😊☺️😍
Very Inspiring Sir n Madam.Both of you are a motivation for all of us around
Thank You Sir for this amazing presentation.

What is the name of the book sir mentioned in 30.42 ?
Thank you very much #MickFowler for sharing the memorable moments of your climbing to the Shiva Peak of Pangi Valley. I have always been interested in knowing a deeper insight into this peak since it's a very sacred place for Pangwals, the people of Pangi valley. I feel blessed and fortunate to see the detailed closer view of Shiva peak and you beautifully named it "Prow of Shiva". Salute to your victorious climbing and visiting the valley... Thanks a lot.
Thank you Mr. Mishra for an extremely well put-together, informative and insightful presentation. I look forward to your future explorations as an armchair admirer of the Himalayas from afar.
Inspirande !!

Amazingly nerve wracking footage
Magnificent retrospective presentation by Harish Kapadia. An amazing summary of the valiant endeavors into the elusive Sanctuary through the decades
I saw this mountain from a flight and sought to find which one it is, and now I'm here listening to an amazing narration about the epic climb of a very difficult route. Such a beautiful pointy peak. Marvellous.
close to twenty years of exploration. marvelous. it takes huge amount of courage to do a Solo of this sorts .
Marvelous climb to the summit ! Truly inspiring. Like the fact that the team used natural features of the mountain and did the actual climbing. Lovely !
An eye opener... Thanks. It was a wonderful presentation. Jai hind
