Climbers Return To Everest, Despite Several Disasters

Tag : trekking, Mt. Everest, Himalayas, base camp of Everest

The Nepal earthquake had jolted the whole country in 2015. Along with the whole country, the regions of Everest were also affected drastically. Thousands of tons of snow and ice came crashing down the mountain. A massive avalanche had taken place a year before. With so much disaster happening back to back, everyone thought, the climbers may stay away from climbing Everest this year.

But despite being aware of its risk factors, hundreds of mountaineers have come back for a new season. With them, they bring millions of dollars to this poverty-wracked nation. Once again, the base camp of Everest is filled with nylon tents and tea stalls.

The number of trekkers has reduced by 40% compared to last year. But this is still good news as it turned out to be much more than what was expected. Everest is vulnerable to climate and it still holds the same risk factors. More than 250 people have died on the mountain, which was first climbed and achieved by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary in 1953.

This year, the government has issued 289 Everest permits to the foreign climber. Thousands of Sherpas and other Nepalis depend on this climbing business. They work as guides and porters, or do everything from renting out mules to serving hot coffee and home-cooked food.

MONEY alone is enough to persuade many Sherpa guides to risk their lives year after year.
