Mount Everest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia May 10 of that year was the deadliest day in Everest history, when a storm stranded many climbers near the summit, killing eight. Expeditions usually fly into Lukla (2,860m) from Kathmandu and then hike to Base Camp, which usually takes six to eight days, allowing for proper altitude acclimatization in order to prevent altitude sickness. When Hillary and Tenzing climbed Everest in 1953, they started from Jiri which, nowadays, takes five to eight days to reach Lukla. www.americancanyon.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Mount_Everest   (3698 words)

Porters - An Aid to Upward Progress Eight of the world's fourteen "eight-thousanders" (mountains over 8000metres in height) lie within the Hindu Kingdom of Nepal. Although it is now 49 years since the first ascent of an "eight-thousander" (Annapurna by Maurice Herzog in June 1950) the approach routes to their base camps still require many days hard walking on primitive trails through medieval villages and, in many cases, across high, snow-covered passes.
