Why fly to Mars? There Tibet and Everest

Sagarmatha, it is Qomolangma, she Everest- most highest peak on the planet Earth. People conquer it, there is not a lot, a little more than 4,000 people. Every year hundreds of people are trying to conquer this mountain, but is far from everything. Chomo-Kankar (translated from the Tibetan "mother - the Queen of Snow White") has a height of 8,848 meters (official figures) and is located on the border of Nepal and China, although the peak is located in China. Everest is surrounded by other equally majestic peaks Lhotse (8501), Makalu (8463) and Cho Oyu (8201 m).

The first ascent to the summit made relatively recently in 1953, although there are disputes that George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the summit in 1924, but it remains a mystery, as Mallory and Irvine died. Dorje's body found in 1999 alone, and the body Irwin never found until now.
I just started to talk about Everest, since this year the father of my friend went to conquer this summit and of course I asked him to take some pictures. Expedition Everest is like a journey to another planet and it was interesting to see.
I want to warn that shooting a man who has no photos to do nothing, so the picture quality is not "gloss". comments of the author, and member of the expedition.

Generally, anyone can try their hand and try to climb Everest, the truth is it's not cheap - 1, 883, 450 rubles and you have to have in reserve about 2 to 5 months. And even if you have a stash in this case and you retired from work for the occasion, it does not mean that your ascent would be the best and you generally stay alive.
The route of your trip will be about the - Delhi-Kathmandu - Lhasa - Xegar - base camp - climbing to 8848. And be sure to buy a good belt, as weight loss after climbing - an average of 10-15 kg. Want to lose weight? Ask me how ... the most effective way of all, and even tan will form the layers 60 and be like a big thin chocolate bar =)
