In 2012 two Armenian women \u2013 Lyuba Balyan and Mariam Martirosyan, headed for their trip to Everest. Everest Mount is the Earth’s highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 meters borders between Nepal and China. In Tibet this mount is called Chomolungma, which means \u201cdivine\u201d. In Nepal it\u2019s named Sagarm\u0101th\u0101 which means \u201cHoly Mother.\u201d Lyuba Balyan and Martirosyan have reached the mark of 5364 meters. After this mark Everest can only be conquered by professional alpinists with special climbing gears. But a few can get to even this camp.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n They shared their impressions with EcoLur.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cEverything started with a photo, which one Englishman took in a small village in the Himalayas. I learnt its name \u2013 Namche Bazaar, which is located on the way to Everest. And I decided to head for there,\u201d said Lyuba Balyan, \u201cIf Mariam weren\u2019t with me, the trip wouldn\u2019t be so easy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the most dangerous airfield:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe airfield in Lukla is rated to be the most dangerous in the world. The elevation of the airport is 2,800\u00a0m, while the single runway is 460 by 20 m with a 12% gradient, so as the airplanes can prolong their runway. Here is high terrain immediately after the northern end of the runway and a steeply angled drop, of about 700\u00a0m at the southern end of the runway, into the valley below. The rock says \u201cWelcome.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThe Sherpa are porters. They are a small ethnic group. Though they are all surrounded with forests, the Sherpa carry all building materials on their shoulders, 60-70 kg each at the height of up to 5000 meters. They take the garbage on themselves downwards. Their religion is said not to allow dumping garbage\u00a0on the mountain. It\u2019s so different from us, why to drag something upwards if you cat down a tree nearby. We don\u2019t have any ideology characteristic to the Nepalese. They realize one say all the resources may get exhausted and they are not endless. If you use water and forest, you should leave a possibility to recover all this\u2026Unlike Armenia, the tourism in Nepal is developed at the expense of poor layers of society. There are no agencies that take everything in their hands. Each traveler can stay at an individual house, and make use of services provided by the residents. They all are somehow connected to tourism and benefit from it.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThey told us we were the first travelers from Armenia they met, they wondered what kind of country Armenia s and we invited them to Armenia and said Armenia resembles small Himalayas. At least 10 people promised they will come… What we saw.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe trip was amazing, even altitude sickness didn\u2019t touch us. We climbed at the height of 5364 m, this is the whereabouts of the camp, after which only alpinists are \u00a0eligible to continue with climbing gears. It turned out to be a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More about global warming.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe saw Everest melting. The alpinists, who attempted to climb Everest from the side of Nepal, couldn\u2019t do it, as the wind blew off the snow. They had to climb through Tiber. I think it\u2019s the result of the global warming.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n
