There�*s been six attempts and no—one has ever been successful. they have typically been small, national teams from those three countries i mentioned so the fact that the sherpas went up and did it, and honestly, they almost made it look easy. they went in and acclimatised, got in early, set the ropes, made up the high camps. they took advantage of a very, very narrow window to stand on top of k2. and give us a bit of a flavour of what it�*s like up there. you talked about the really diffi...

After the crowded 2019 season, officials embarked on a massive cleaning expedition, bringing over 10,000 kilos of garbage down from the mountain. but theres still more to be done.

Feel like that at all — its vast, its open. if anyone is dreaming of climbing everest, i think they should do it. it is notjust a rich persons sport. they should start climbing peaks closer to home and work their way up, claiming bigger and bigger mountains with harder terrain, and eventually find their way to the top of the world. the sherpas in the everest region are ready for tourists to come. i really hope that the people who want to go and climb mount everest really understand the signifi...

Remaining challenges in mountaineering — reaching the summit of the world�*s second highest peak, k2, in winter. it�*s the last of the 14 tallest mountains to have been conquered during the winter months. alan arnette became the oldest american to reach the summit of k2 in 2014. he told me why this latest effort was such an achievement. it�*s a fantastic day for mountaineering. i am just so proud of the nepali team that they got up there and they are back down now at camp three. actually...

And into a black suv. wanchalearm had fled to cambodia after the coup seven years ago and kept up a barrage of cheeky social media posts parodying thailands military and rulers.

I think something was lost there. it became all about whos going to get there, how fast, and what am i going to get out of that experience? and i suspect that it is only going to get worse in the future, unless there is an intervention. although the nepalese government collected £8,000 fee from foreign mountaineers, until now, there has been little regulation on tour operators or climber skill level. in the last 10 or 15 years, the peak has become more accessible to climbers with a lower skill ...

Now on bbc news... the travel show. this week on the travel show, whats in store for the year ahead? i think a phrase a lot of us can expect to hear in 2021 is "documents, please. " the worlds tallest mountain. i really hope that the people who want to go and climb mount everest really understand the significance of this mountain, the sacredness of this mountain. i thought id seen everything! and a detox that is not for the squeamish. wow, the visual of it is the most shocking part.

Mount everest is where our goddess miyolangsangma resides. it is a sacred mountain. for me, it is a magical place. i have enormous reverence and respect for mount everest. i have seen how beautiful and magic it can be. but ive also seen the tragedy, the death they can result from being on mount everest. in the 1950s, there were only like four or five western tourists who came into the everest region. by 2019, we have thousands, more than 35,000 tourists, who came to the everest region. to put th...

Jen was talking on the phone to her brother when he was dragged off the street and into a black suv. wanchalearm had fled to cambodia after the coup seven years ago and kept up a barrage of cheeky social media posts parodying thailands military and rulers.

Next this week, a visit to the worlds tallest mountain. mount everest was closed for much of 2020 because of the pandemic. but could the lockdown have been a blessing disguise for this ultimate adventure destination? in the 1950s, there were only like four or five western tourists who came into the everest region. by 2019, we have thousands, more than 35,000 tourists, who came to the everest region. to put that in perspective, this is a region with about 7000 people, so it is five times the popu...
