Nepal became a virtual paradise for die hard adventure lovers when the country threw open its borders to expeditionary teams in 1950. Mountains in Asia were attempted since the middle 18th century & some top peaks were summated but the Everest was still in the shadows when in 1953 Sir Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgey were the first to set foot on the highest mountain in the world…& that opened the floodgates to numerous expeditions to Everest also known as ‘Sagarmatha” in the local jargon.
