Born on 17th January 1970 in Thame Village, nestled in Nepal’s Solu Khumbu region, Kami Rita grew up in the shadow of Everest. Thame is no stranger to legends; it was also the home of the iconic Tenzing Norgay, who, with Sir Edmund Hillary, was first to stand atop Everest in 1953. Following in the footsteps of his forebears, Kami Rita has spent decades etching his name into mountaineering history.

A Career Etched in Ice and Stone

Kami Rita first summited Everest on 13th May 1994 during a commercial expedition. Since then, he has guided countless climbers to the summit and scaled five 8,000-meter peaks an astonishing 44 times, including the formidable K2 in Pakistan, the world’s second-highest mountain.

He currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most Everest summits, a record he has repeatedly pushed further. In May 2023, he summited Everest twice within a week, reaching his 27th and 28th successful ascents. By May 2024, he was at 30 summits — and today, at 31.

Humble Roots, Soaring Heights

The mountains are in Kami Rita’s blood. His father was among the first generation of professional Sherpa guides following Everest’s opening to foreign climbers in 1950. His brother, Lakpa Rita Sherpa, has also scaled Everest an impressive 17 times. Yet despite these staggering accomplishments, Kami Rita has remained grounded, emphasizing respect and humility toward Chomolungma — the Sherpa name for Everest, believed to be the abode of a goddess.

“Months before I begin an ascent, I start worshiping and asking for her forgiveness because I have to put my feet on her body,” Kami Rita shared. “Right before the final steps to the summit, others run to take photos, but I bow my head again and ask for her forgiveness.”

His reverence for the mountains extends beyond rituals. For Kami Rita, climbing has never been about fame or records. In an interview with the BBC, he confessed:

“I never thought about making records. I actually didn’t know that you could make a record. Had I known, I would have done a lot more summits earlier.”

At 55 years old, Kami Rita still feels strong and confident in his abilities. “I am healthy. I can go until I am 60 years old. With oxygen, it’s no big deal; we were born in the Himalayas,” he said.

Kami Rita Sherpa’s Everest Journey

Here’s a look back at Kami Rita’s incredible Everest milestones:

• 1994 – 13th May: First summit via SE Ridge
• 1997-2013 – Summits almost every year via SE Ridge
• 2015 – Expedition canceled due to the earthquake
• 2016 – NE Ridge summit
• 2017-2019 – Annual summits, including double summits in 2019
• 2021 – 25th summit
• 2022 – 26th summit
• 2023 – 27th and 28th summits
• 2024 – 29th and 30th summits
• 2025 – 31st summit

Beyond Everest

Kami Rita’s achievements extend beyond the world’s highest peak. He has successfully scaled:

• Cho-Oyu — 8 times
• Manaslu — 3 times
• Lhotse — 1 time
• K2 — 1 time

Each climb reflects not just physical endurance but spiritual resilience, discipline, and profound respect for the mountains.

The Legend Continues

Kami Rita Sherpa is not merely a record holder; he’s an inspiration. His unwavering commitment to guiding, his humility in the face of towering peaks, and his reverence for the mountain gods make him a true hero of the Himalayas.

As he adds yet another summit to his legendary career, the world watches in awe and anticipation — how many more will there be?

Congratulations to Kami Rita Sherpa — the man who has shown us that the sky is not the limit; it’s just the beginning.

Rising Risks and Overcrowding

The spring 2023 season saw Nepal issue a record 478 permits for Everest, coinciding with 12 fatalities and five missing climbers on the world’s highest peak. Long bottlenecks in the high-altitude “death zone” not only endanger climbers but also amplify logistical challenges for rescue operations. Moreover, unchecked permit issuance has exacerbated waste accumulation—ranging from discarded oxygen cylinders to human refuse—that undermines environmental health and local sanitation efforts.

Key Provisions of the Draft Legislation

If enacted, the new rules will require applicants to submit certified proof of a successful ascent of at least one 7,000-metre mountain in Nepal. In parallel, all expedition leaders (“sardars”) and mountain guides must hold Nepali citizenship, and climbers will undergo mandatory health screenings before departure. These dual requirements aim to ensure both the technical competence and physical readiness of would-be Everest summiteers.

Industry Response and Criticism

International expedition operators have cautioned that restricting qualifying climbs to Nepal’s 7,000-metre peaks may unfairly exclude otherwise qualified mountaineers who gained experience on comparable global peaks like Aconcagua or Denali. They also point to a shortfall of Nepal-based IFMGA-certified guides, urging that non-Nepali certified professionals be permitted. Critics warn these stringent criteria could redirect climbers toward Tibet’s northern routes or other international objectives.

Economic and Permit Fee Implications

As part of the reform package, Nepal will raise the Everest permit fee by roughly 36%, lifting the cost from US$11,000 to US$15,000 for spring season foreign climbers. This marks the first permit fee increase in nearly a decade. Officials assert that the additional revenue will be channeled into enhanced waste management, search and rescue capabilities, and local infrastructure upgrades across the Khumbu region.

Environmental and Sustainability Benefits

These permit reforms dovetail with judicial and community-led efforts to mitigate Everest’s overtourism crisis. In April 2023, Nepal’s Supreme Court ordered tighter regulation of climbing expeditions and improved mountain sanitation protocols. Annual clean-ups by the Nepalese Army and volunteer groups have since removed thousands of kilograms of trash, yet significant waste persists—particularly at Camp 4 and the Gorakshep dumping site—underscoring the urgency of permit caps and stricter “carry-out” policies.

Looking Ahead

The draft Integrated Tourism Bill is currently under review in Nepal’s National Assembly, where the ruling coalition holds a solid majority. If ratified before the next climbing window, the new requirements will reshape Everest expeditions by prioritizing experienced, health-vetted climbers and reinforcing local leadership. As Nepal balances its economic dependence on mountaineering tourism with pressing safety and environmental concerns, the world will watch closely to see if these reforms set a new global benchmark for high-altitude adventure governance.

A New Era on the Roof of the World

Milan Pandey, drone pilot for Airlift Technology, sits at Base Camp without ever donning an ice axe or crampons. His contribution? Delivering vital supplies—oxygen tanks, ropes, ladders—via drone to one of the most dangerous passages on Mount Everest: the Khumbu Icefall.

Traditionally, Sherpas, the mountain’s lifeblood and guides for generations, spend hours navigating this treacherous stretch between Base Camp (5,364 meters) and Camp One (6,065 meters). It’s a journey that can take up to seven hours. Drones now complete it in under seven minutes.

For the Sherpas, this technological leap could mean fewer trips through hazardous terrain, and fewer lives lost in pursuit of preparation.

From Tragedy to Innovation

The idea took hold after a tragic avalanche in 2023 claimed the lives of three Sherpas. Mingma G Sherpa of Imagine Nepal saw the toll firsthand and began looking into how drone tech, already in use on other peaks in China, could make a difference here.

Meanwhile, Airlift Nepal’s CEO Raj Bikram was already working with the Khumbu municipality on 3D drone mapping. When local leaders asked if drones could carry weight, Bikram had his answer.

By April 2024, with two drones donated by DJI and the support of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, the first drone deliveries were tested.

First Flights and Lessons Learned

Operating drones at high altitude is no small feat. Wind gusts, freezing temperatures, and unpredictable visibility make Everest an extreme test environment.

Airlift’s initial mission: remove more than 1,100 pounds of debris from Camp One. It took over 40 drone flights to complete. While capable of carrying 66 pounds, the team limits payloads to 44 pounds to account for flight safety.

For the 2025 climbing season, drones are already being used to deliver equipment ahead of time and are scheduled to retrieve waste during and after expeditions.

Pandey and his team work hand-in-hand with the Sherpas: small scouting drones map the route, while Sherpas climb the glacier and relay coordinates. Then, drones swoop in with whatever gear is needed—sometimes including life-saving oxygen or medications.

High Costs and Higher Stakes

Currently, Airlift operates only one drone on Everest, with a backup on standby. Each costs around $70,000. Then there are the logistics—fuel for battery charging, transport costs, food, shelter, and manpower. Everest is expensive. Every item comes with altitude markup.

Yet, the investment goes beyond money. For Bikram, an aeronautical engineer who built one of Nepal’s first DIY drones over a decade ago, the mission is personal. Drones played a critical role in relief efforts during Nepal’s 2015 earthquake. Today, they serve a new purpose: search, rescue, and safe transport in the world’s most unforgiving terrain.

Redefining the Role of the Sherpa

As more Sherpas seek opportunities abroad, drawn by stability and pay, there’s growing concern for the future of this historic profession.

Pandey hopes drones will change that.

“If we can make this a safer job, we can keep the tradition alive,” he says. “Without the Sherpas, no one would make it up this mountain.”

Voices From the Icefall

Dawa Janzu Sherpa, 28, is a veteran frontman among the “icefall doctors”—the Sherpas responsible for fixing routes through shifting ice towers and crevasses. He’s felt the shift firsthand.

“There’s more dry ice this year, and more ice towers,” he says. “It’s riskier. The drones help us focus on the trail. We don’t have to hike back down just to fetch a ladder.”

As the sole provider for his family, safety matters. “If there’s a way to make this job less deadly, I’m all for it.”

The Future of Climbing

The 2025 climbing season has officially begun. In Everest’s tight weather window—mostly April and May—every minute matters.

“Drones are just part of the evolution,” says Caroline Ogle of Adventure Consultants, who’s managed expeditions on Everest for five seasons. “First we had radios, then satellite phones, and now real-time weather forecasting. Drones are the next natural step.”

Lisa Thompson, who’s summited the highest peaks on all seven continents, agrees.

“The mountain hasn’t changed. The challenge hasn’t changed,” she says. “But how we protect people who climb it—that should change.”

Conclusion

From silent summits to the beating heart of Base Camp, drones are no longer just futuristic gadgets—they’re reshaping Everest in real time. Fewer lives at risk. Less waste left behind. Faster climbs. For climbers and Sherpas alike, the mountain remains majestic—but perhaps just a bit more manageable.

Thank you for reading our article. Because of your support, we are able to list our blog post on the Top 80 Nepal Blogs on FeedSpot. Keep loving.

Traditionally, while Nepal is undeniably home to a significant number of the world’s 8000-meter mountains (eight-thousanders), the list of all 14 has included peaks firmly associated with China and Pakistan. This article, however, makes a compelling case to re-examine that understanding, arguing for Nepal’s inherent connection to all of them.

But is this claim just nationalistic fervor, or does it hold geographical, cultural, and perhaps even economic weight? Let’s delve into the arguments and explore what “claiming” these mountains really means.

Understanding the Claim: Beyond Political Borders

The Heaven Himalaya article doesn’t necessarily argue for a redrawing of political maps. Instead, it takes a more nuanced geographical and hydrological approach. The core of the argument rests on several key points:

• Geographical Heartland: Even for peaks whose summits might straddle borders, the article emphasizes that the essential geographical features – the major faces, the vast glacial systems, the primary base camps, and the deep valleys that define these mountains – are predominantly located within Nepal. Think of Everest’s iconic South Face, undeniably on the Nepalese side.
• Watershed and Glacial Systems: Mountains are not isolated rocks. They are intricately connected to their surrounding environment through watersheds and glaciers. The claim highlights that for many of these peaks, the major glacial systems and drainage patterns, vital to the mountains’ existence and surrounding ecosystems, originate and flow significantly through Nepal.
• Climbing Heritage and Access: Historically, and even today, the primary access points and base camps for many of these mountains, even those associated with other countries, have often been accessed from the Nepalese side. Nepal has been the gateway for mountaineering in the region for decades.
• Cultural and Economic Significance: Implicitly, the claim touches upon the profound cultural and economic importance these mountains hold for Nepal. Mountaineering and tourism are cornerstones of Nepal’s economy and national identity. Extending the “claim” reinforces Nepal’s image as the ultimate destination for Himalayan adventure.

Looking at Specific Peaks

The article goes through each of the 14 eight-thousanders to strengthen its argument. Let’s briefly consider a few examples:

• The “Undeniable” Nepalese Peaks: For mountains like Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri I, Manaslu, Annapurna I, and Cho Oyu, the claim is more straightforward. The article points to well-known Nepalese faces, glaciers, valleys, and base camps as undeniable evidence of their strong Nepalese connection. These are the mountains most people readily associate with Nepal.
• Challenging the “Non-Nepalese” Peaks: This is where the argument becomes more interesting. For peaks often considered to be in Pakistan or China, like K2, Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum I, Broad Peak, and Shishapangma, the article uses more nuanced arguments:
  • Southern Flanks and Drainage: For Nanga Parbat and Broad Peak, it highlights the “southern flanks” that drain into Nepal, suggesting a geographical connection.
  • Glacial Interconnections: For K2 and Gasherbrum, it points to glacial systems that are linked to or extend towards Nepal, although the direct geographical link might be less pronounced.
  • “Nepalese Side” Concept: For Shishapangma, geographically entirely in Tibet/China, the article still refers to a “Nepalese side” in terms of watershed connection, pushing the boundaries of what “location” means.

Analyzing the Validity and Implications

Is Nepal’s claim valid? It depends on how you define “validity.”

• Geographically Nuanced Claim: From a purely political border perspective, some of these claims are a stretch. However, the article cleverly shifts the focus to a more geographically and hydrologically interconnected understanding of mountains. In this sense, the claim is more about emphasizing Nepal’s integral role in the mountain system as a whole.
• Cultural and Nationalistic Resonance: The claim undoubtedly resonates deeply within Nepal. It reinforces national identity, potentially boosts tourism by solidifying Nepal’s “Land of the Eight-Thousanders” narrative, and provides a powerful talking point.
• International Relations and Potential Future Discussions: While unlikely to lead to immediate border changes, such claims, particularly if widely adopted within Nepal, could subtly shift the narrative in future discussions regarding resource management, tourism in border regions, or even the interpretation of geographical boundaries over the very long term.
• Perspective is Key: It’s crucial to understand this claim is presented from a distinctly Nepalese perspective. Geographers and people in other countries might have different interpretations and emphasize different geographical or political factors.

Original 14 Peaks:

Nepal’s 8 Peaks:

1. Mount Everest (8,848.86m) – Highest in the world
2. Kanchenjunga (8,586m) – 3rd highest
3. Lhotse (8,516m) – 4th highest
4. Makalu (8,463m) – 5th highest
5. Cho Oyu (8,201m) – 6th highest
6. Dhaulagiri I (8,167m) – 7th highest
7. Manaslu (8,163m) – 8th highest
8. Annapurna I (8,091m) – 10th highest

Pakistan’s 5 Peaks:

1. K2 (8,611m) – 2nd highest, dubbed the “Savage Mountain”
2. Nanga Parbat (8,125m) – 9th highest, “Killer Mountain”
3. Gasherbrum I (8,080m) – 11th highest
4. Broad Peak (8,051m) – 12th highest
5. Gasherbrum II (8,034m) – 13th highest

China’s One Peak:

1. Shishapangma (8,027m) – 14th highest

Quick Facts:

• Global Eight-Thousanders: 14 (if Nepal’s claim is accepted), up from 13.
• Nepal’s Open Peaks: 468 (of 3,310 total) are available for commercial expeditions.
• 2023 Climbing Permits: Over 2,500 issued, a record year.

Conclusion: A Claim to Contemplate

The “Nepal Claim to 14 Eight-Thousanders” isn’t necessarily about planting flags on summits that aren’t already within its political borders. It’s a more sophisticated argument about geographical, hydrological, and cultural interconnectedness. It’s a claim that encourages us to think beyond simple political lines on a map and consider the broader systems that define these magnificent mountains.

Whether you fully agree with the claim or not, it’s undeniable that Nepal’s identity is deeply intertwined with the Himalayas, and this article provides a compelling, if perhaps nationally motivated, perspective to consider.

Taking Flight to the Roof of the World: The Lukla Experience

A Thrilling Adventure

The Lukla flight, typically a 45-minute journey from Kathmandu, is a sensory overload. As the small plane ascends, passengers are treated to breathtaking views of the Kathmandu Valley. They also see the snow-capped Himalayas and the sprawling forests below. However, the real adventure begins as the plane approaches Lukla Airport.

The runway, perched on a cliff edge with a precipitous drop, is notoriously short and has a steep incline. The landing is often described as a “controlled crash” as the pilot expertly maneuvers the aircraft to a halt. The thrill and adrenaline rush of this experience makes it a memorable part of any trip to Nepal.

Weather-Dependent and Challenging

Due to Lukla’s high altitude and unpredictable weather conditions, flights can be easily canceled or delayed. Fog, low visibility, and strong winds can render the airport inaccessible. As a result, it’s not uncommon for trekkers to be stranded in Lukla for several days. They wait for favorable weather conditions.

Safety Considerations

Despite the inherent risks, Lukla Airport has a relatively good safety record. Airlines operating flights to and from Lukla have experienced pilots. These pilots are well-versed in the challenges of landing and taking off from this unique airstrip. However, it’s essential to choose a reputable airline with a proven safety record.

A Must-Do Experience

For those seeking adventure, the Lukla flight is an unforgettable experience. It provides a glimpse into the rugged beauty of the Himalayas. It’s not just a means of transportation. It’s a thrilling adventure that sets the stage for the incredible trek to Everest Base Camp and beyond.

The decision to remove the billboard comes amid ongoing concerns about the commercialization of Everest Base Camp. Some critics argued that the billboard was a further encroachment on the natural beauty of the area, while others simply disliked the new addition.

The removal of the billboard also highlights the logistical challenges of maintaining structures on Everest Base Camp’s constantly moving glacial terrain. With the Everest season coming to an end and the monsoon rains approaching, the focus now shifts to dismantling camps and retrieving equipment from the Khumbu Icefall.
