Relationships are such journeys! Once you get into one, one prepares for the long haul. Railroad crashes, car rides, boring flights. The odd distraction, the unwilling participation, and the rare view of the Kanchenjunga through impenetrable clouds. One wishes for transcendence and encounters reality checks.   In our closest relationships we discover our worst selves.   But then a few things start to change. A few things seem to find their niche with a satisfying click. You start seeing things together and find consonance in your reactions. Slivers of light seem to come out of the brokenness.   Our sharp edges transcend to become rough surfaces. And we start to redefine the definition of 'smooth': the chiding, the irritations, the battles, all become quiddities -  to be paid attention to, but not with emotional equity. And suddenly the uncertain universe starts taking the shape of two.   Habits behove relationships.   Habits knit into relationships.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems which reminisce on the passage of love  -  I Can Sense Her Loneliness What is Loss, She Asked Me Grief Strikes Where Love Struck First Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

Everyone loves coincidences. During my month in Estonia, I bumbled into Krisli Melesk, who bumbled into Eric Gilbertson on K2. Eric & I were scheduled to record a podcast a few days after I met Krisli, so I invited her to join the show as a surprise guest!  Eric Gilbertson is in the process of climbing to the highest point in every country. He's done 143 out of 193! This is first of a two-part series, featuring Eric & Krisli. Subscribe to get next week's episode where we will discuss Eric kite surfing across Greenland! You must listen to my first two interviews with Eric Gilbertson! Krisli Melesk is also remarkable. She deserves her own episode and book! Her list of adventures is long and mind-blowing. We only delved into a couple of her countless adventures in this episode. In this episode, we focus on K2 and Everest, especially their joint experience on K2. Although they didn't climb K2 on the same team, they met on K2 and summitted a few days apart. We end the show by talking about Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain, with an elevation of 28,169 feet (8,586 metres). It is situated in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Sikkim state, northeastern India, and eastern Nepal, 46 miles (74 km) north-northwest of Darjiling, Sikkim. We discuss why Eric was able to summit Kanchenjunga and Krisli was not. Note: In the show, I refer to Krisli as "Kris," but the automatic subtitle generator on the video transcribed her name as "Chris." Also, I apologize for the mediocre audio quality.

"Talking to Adrian Hayes is an adventure in itself " says Phil Blizzard with this episode taking you, via your "Airpods'  from the comfort of your 'zone' to the frozen, almost,  vertical rock face close to the 8,586m summit of Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas.Adrian Hayes is heading back to the Himalayan 8000m giants with an expedition to attempt the majestic Kanchenjunga - the little known, 3rd highest mountain in the world, located on the Eastern Nepal and Indian border.  We start by talking about the preparations  for the expedition and the challenges to be faced.In this conversational journey  we reflect on his previous major expeditions and his collection of world records - including the Three Poles Challenge. Climbing Mount Everest and walking to both the North & South Poles!  Which, when talking about bringing up a teenage daughter he said "was more demanding than summiting  Everest and reaching the two poles "!Our common connection with the Middle East comes into the conversation - with my memories of him dragging car tyres across the beaches of Dubai for some reason or other! How the UAE and the delightful Oman offers so much to adventurers. Plus recollections of 'The Soldier of Arabia - David Neild'  and so much more, including the special affiliation Adrian has with the Gurkha regiment.Adrian also talks about his other life  - that as a professional speaker - human development and what adventuring brings to that table, and vice versa. Finally a concluding piece which Adrian Hayes has provided about the forthcoming expedition.‘Kanch' rises to a height of 8,586 m (28,169 ft); is huge, remote, steep and technical, with a near vertical rock face near the summit and, above all, the longest summit push of any 8000 m mountain on Earth. The fact that there are only approx. 25 climbers attempting it this year, compared to the hundreds that will shortly be on Everest, testimony to it being one of the least climbed 8000ers. It has always held a special place with me, being located in my former Gurkha regiment's recruiting heartlands of Eastern Nepal; having first seen it in the early 90s on a welfare trek whilst serving in the Brigade; and long having ambitions to climb it. On the trek in I will be visiting 7th Gurkha Rifles pensioners and their families gathered for their annual reunions in the Gurkha Welfare Trust Welfare Centres of Phidim and Taplejung - a role I undertook in 2022 which was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had in the country.It's 18 years since I climbed Everest, 10 years since summiting K2 and nine since our aborted attempt on Makalu (the 5th highest mountain in the world). And following last year's return to high altitude mountaineering and our ‘warm up' attempt of the difficult Pumori (7181 m), I have been preparing and planning ever since - the joys, total absorption and complete focus of a major goal!For further information visit www.adrianhayes.com

Norwegian Kristin Harila, 37, Tenjen (Lama) Sherpa summited all fourteen 8000ers in three months and 1 day (92 days.) The first was Shishapangma on April 26, 2023, and the last K2 on July 27, 2023. In 2022, Harila summited twelve of the fourteen, but China refused them entry into Tibet to attempt Shishapangma and Cho Oyu thus, she returned this year to complete her project. She is no stranger to mountaineering. In 2021, she became the fastest woman to climb Everest and Lhotse in a record 12 hours. The 36-year-old is from Vadso/Norway and is a former cross-country skier. Today, she claims her profession as a runner, skier and former mountaineer as she announced she is retiring from climbing with the end of this project. While she came to mountaineering late, she's summited twenty-eight 8000-meter peaks since her first, Everest, in 2021 and made a name for herself with several records, including: Fastest person, together with Sherpa Lama overall, to True summit all 14 peaks over 8000m in 3 months and 1 day (July 27th, 2023) Fastest person overall to summit the five highest mountains in the world in 69 days, Everest, K2, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu. Fastest woman to climb Mount Everest, 8848 and Mount Lhotse, 8516, in less than 8 hours on May 23rd, 2023. The previous record for reaching the true summits of the 8000ers was five years and four months by Nirmal Purja Pun Magar. Both climbers have been criticized by some in the climbing community for climbing with too many Sherpas, using supplemental oxygen and using helicopters to fly from mountain to mountain. Harila's journey was not with controversy. They included switching teams and Sherpas from 2022 to 2023, using helicopters to fly Sherpas to Camp 2 on Manaslu, and the one that caught global attention when a High Altitude Porter, Muhammad Hassan, not climbing with her team died on K2. Her team gave aid, but he died. A video taken hours later showed other climbers, not Harila's team stepping over the dead body on the way to the summit. Harila was widely criticized for his death, yet her team did everything to save his life. The Pakistani government investigated the incident and posted a detailed report clearing Harila's team of any wrongdoing and gave her photographer, Gabriel Tarso, an “appreciation letter” for his effort to save a life that night. We explore all of these controversies in detail in this podcast. This is the full report for download: Muhammad Hussain's Death on K2 and Kristin's report on her website.

A mountain guide who recently climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains in record time has set a new goal for himself. Tenjen Sherpa of Nepal says he now wants to become the youngest person to climb all the peaks twice. Last month, the 35-year-old Tenjen and 37–year-old Norwegian Kristin Harila, broke the record for the fastest climb of the mountains. All of the peaks are above 8,000 meters. The two reached the final mountaintop, K2, in 92 days. It was very speedy. The record they broke was set at 189 days.↳ Now, Tenjen is preparing for his new goal. He said he hopes to start by climbing Mount Shishapangma in China in the next two months. “I have already done (it) once and I want to double it,” he told the Associated Press.一位登山向导最近以创纪录的时间攀登了世界 14 座最高的山峰，他为自己设定了新的目标。尼泊尔的 Tenjen Sherpa 表示，他现在想成为两次登上所有山峰的最年轻的人。上个月，35岁的Tenjen和37岁的挪威人Kristin Harila打破了最快爬山记录。所有山峰海拔均在8000米以上。两人用了 92 天到达了最后的山顶 K2。速度非常快。他们打破的纪录是 189 天。↳ 现在，Tenjen 正在为他的新目标做准备。他说，他希望在未来两个月内首先攀登中国的希夏邦马峰。 “我已经做过一次了，我想加倍，”他告诉美联社。Only one person has climbed all 14 peaks twice. Forty-eight-year-old Sanu Sherpa completed his second climb of the mountains last year. Tenjen has already climbed seven of the mountains twice. He hopes to climb the remaining seven by next spring. Tenjen climbed the first of these mountains in 2016, when he reached the top of Mount Dhaulagiri in Nepal. He has since made several similar climbs every year, including four trips to Mount Everest.唯一一个曾两次登上全部14座山峰的人。四十八岁的萨努·夏尔巴去年完成了他的第二次登山。 Tenjen 已经两次攀登了其中的七座山峰。他希望在明年春天之前攀登剩余的七座。 Tenjen 于 2016 年攀登了第一座山峰，登上了尼泊尔道拉吉里峰的山顶。此后，他每年都会进行几次类似的攀登，其中包括四次登上珠穆朗玛峰。He and his three brothers set a record as the most siblings to have climbed Mount Kanchenjunga. Kanchenjunga is the world's third-tallest mountain, behind Mount Everest and K2.Tenjen started working as a mountain guide to support his family. However, in April, the Kathmandu company Seven Summits Treks hired Tenjen to join Harila's trip to Mount Shishapangma. Harila and Tenjen then climbed the rest of the mountains together. “It was my good luck and (I) was fortunate to be with her in the team,” Tenjen said to the Associated Press.他和他的三个兄弟创下了登上干城章嘉峰最多兄弟姐妹的记录。干城章嘉峰是世界第三高山，仅次于珠穆朗玛峰和乔戈里峰。Tenjen 开始做登山向导来养家糊口。然而，四月份，加德满都七峰徒步旅行公司聘请 Tenjen 加入 Harila 的希夏邦马山之旅。 Harila 和 Tenjen 随后一起攀登了其余的山峰。 “这是我的运气，（我）很幸运能和她一起加入球队，”滕詹对美联社说。Tenjen plans to climb Shishapangma for the second time later this fall. He plans on carrying with him pictures of a brother who died. Shishapangma was the only one of the 14 tallest mountains that this brother had not climbed. Tenjen says he will bury the images on the mountaintop. Tenjen told the AP that Sherpas do not get enough government recognition for their hard work. “It is not possible to just continue climbing mountains as you grow older, so what else is there than to think of migrating abroad,” Tenjen pointed out. Tenjen never attended school growing up. He has difficulty reading and writing. But, living in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, his children are able to get an education. Tenjen thinks, though, that since more children will be growing up in cities in the future, they will not have the skills to become Sherpas.Tenjen 计划在今年秋天晚些时候第二次攀登希夏邦马峰。他计划随身携带已故兄弟的照片。希夏邦马峰是十四座最高山中唯一一位这位兄弟没有攀登过的山峰。 Tenjen 说他会将这些图像埋在山顶上。坦詹告诉美联社，夏尔巴人的辛勤工作没有得到政府足够的认可。 “随着年龄的增长，继续爬山是不可能的，所以除了考虑移居国外之外，还有什么办法呢？”Tenjen 指出。 Tenjen 从小就没有上过学。他阅读和写作都有困难。但是，生活在尼泊尔首都加德满都，他的孩子们能够接受教育。不过，Tenjen 认为，由于未来会有更多的孩子在城市长大，他们将不具备成为夏尔巴人的技能。

 Hey...Welcome to THE TEENAGER'S DIARY where you hear the different feelings, thoughts, and emotions of the teenager. Well, this is your host, SHADOW SPARKLING. I'm a different teen of 14 and I hope to enlighten you by sharing everything I have. Well,...Today, we are going to talk about ACCEPTING MORTALITY. And like always, I would love if you keep an open-mindset while listening to this. INTRO...“I don't know how I will feel when I am dead, but no matter what, I don't want to regret the way I lived.”That's what Itadori Yuuji said in Jujitsu Kaisen. That one sentence was enough to bring the major change inside me. The Realization, is what I like to call it. Well, from then on, I have completely accepted the fact that I'm gonna die one day. Which has led me, to utilize my limited time, as much as possible, in every way. But things go wrong. Life sends you lemons and we all can make lemonades, but sometimes, the way we make it, is what dictates our situation.  PETTY STUFFS.I don't want to die now. I honestly don't. I don't feel it. But there's a little probability. I have dreams to fulfil. And also have my virginity to lose. Both of my lips and my dick. I had an argument with HER, and things are not as good as I think. I still haven't yet finished this week's highlight and here, I am writing this entry in a good homestay, on a vacation to Kalimpong, upon the whim of my father to see the Kanchenjunga, the second highest peak in the world. Ma and Bon are happy to go anywhere. I haven't yet completed my science book of my class and there's a super lot to learn YET. Things have been tensed a little bit for me. The food might be IT.Recently, I hadn't had GOOD FOOD like my home for four days. And probably all of it sucks but though, it's decent and satisfactory. Clouds are jealous enough to let my father have his wish fulfilled, yet they are nourishing and petting me with their energies when I meditate. I think I'm losing touch with everything. Especially my friends. Especially among them my second crush at school. I wanted to her to hate me and not see me ever again, and hence I irritated her, and probably I think I have gone too far. She's the top girl of my class and the day before our journey I called her. It was picked up by her mother, and she CHARGED me and that too POLITELY; I didn't see it coming.  DEADLINES.I think this is good and yet at the same time fear is there. Being a mortal is super easy, you're gonna die when your time comes. And guess what no one knows their deadline. Most can only feel it before a week or less. Honestly speaking, WE HUMANS REALLY NEED TO SEE OUR DEADLINES TO INCREASE OUR PRODUCTIVITY. I'm losing it. Pain is good to feel. Taming this body of mine, has been turning out successful. No expression when the extremes hit this body, I mean. Time is passing and yet I can't devote it to my hunger of learning. In this cage, I am.  THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE.I can't even completely devote my time and as my parents, though they give me enough freedom, can't stand it when I learn something out of the track of the society. They say “It's not your age.”, “You're gonna have plenty of time.”, etc. bullshits that don't make sense to me. And if I fight back, all I get is a great lecture about being the grateful for what I have, every time. It's a good lesson and I'm grateful for whatever I have. After all, I came into this world empty handed, and every thing since then, whatever I have and have been given are GIFTS. I am not proud of that, I'm GRATEFUL for that all the time. But time is something no ones owes to no one. This bitch is gonna float and make others float. She's gonna rough you up if not treated with the respect she deserves. That hardcore is going to be on your death bed. When the-person-you-could-have-BECOME meets the-person-you-have-become, hadn't you been so scared. FLOATING.Some of us are just floating. We all have, at some point in our life. Floating aimlessly in this ocean, without anchors. I'm glad that I have HER and my DREAMS to anchor me when I feel lost. Those poets failed to point exactly at what actually binds us all. It's not empathy, it's not caring (though we all care and some of us cared), it's not human nature to be exact. It's MORTALITY. It's its branches which binds us all. That big tree has been there since the birth of time. And will be there even if this universe is destroyed.  DEAF-NOTE or THE MOST PROMINENT ONE?However, we sometimes fail to grasp the concept. It's not KNOWING that you're gonna die one day, it's ACCEPTING that you're gonna die one day. It could be anytime and anywhere. We have our death clocks ticking and the tick has been getting stronger, not day-by-day, it's getting stronger moment-by-moment. Why are we all pretending it to be a deaf note, when it's the MOST PROMINENT one every time? Are you afraid that one day, you're gonna die? It's okay to be afraid of that. I personally was afraid of that before I had my Moment of Disillusionment. But avoiding the problem, avoiding the eternal truth that all that is born must die, is not at all a smart thing to do. I don't think it is. Being aware is one thing you can try. You don't know when the person next to you, is gonna be having his/her funeral. You are gonna regret not displaying the thoughts, feelings and words that were left inside you for him/her.  Yeah, all of it makes sense, but HOW?You can simply try by saying whatever you had inside you to that particular person. You can simply open your mouth to vomit all those words which lay aback. Just don't give a FUCK WHAT ANYONE WOULD THINK. That's all. Be aware of your actions, what you did, what you are gonna do, what was the best thing that happened today. I generally use a Word document to document all the things that I did on a day every night (it takes less than 10 minutes), and then set up my goals for the next day. As for the best thing, I have gratefulness jar. Upon the sticky notes, I write every night the best thing (or things) which happened that day. That line goes like, “I am grateful for...” and at the back, would be the date. That's all there is. THE GRANDMASTER.In this mortal life, we have limited fucks to give. And hence we have to choose who, what and when to give a fuck to. That's Mark Manson's style. Learning and maintaining a basic routine (not too tight or not too loose) is an essential part of having a satisfying look on your face. PS: You alone can feel that satisfactory look (it might not have to be a smile). Time is the GRANDMASTER of all the things. Respecting it is not necessary, IT'S CRUCIAL. And the day, when you truly ACCEPT YOUR MORTALITY, THAT WOULD BE THE DAY, WHEN YOU WOULD TRULY UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF TIME. Just let the shock, pain, feeling that one day you're gonna die SINK IN. It's gonna be psychologically a BIG SHOCK, but things will only get BETTER after that.That will be all .

We sometimes hear about a climber who has to make a tough decision as we follow mountaineering each season. Usually, it involves weather moving in that might jeopardize the team's safety or rescuing a teammate. Well, this spring, my long-time friend, Wilco van Rooijen, 55, faced a difficult decision, but it involved staying true to his style. The Dutch mountaineer cheated death in 2008 on K2, but we both lost a dear friend, Ger McDonnell, that year. Wilco, who always climbs without supplemental oxygen or Sherpa support, had summited K2, Everest, plus many technical climbs in the Alps. He had a sold attempt in 2018 on Kanchenjunga, the 3rd highest mountain at 8,586 m (28,169 ft), with his best friend and climbing partner, Cas van de Gevel. This 2022 spring, they returned to Kanch for another try in their style. They had perfect weather day after day and had acclimatized on Meru Peak before arriving at Kanch's base camp. They made one attempt but were going too slow behind a large group, and it was getting late in the day, so they returned to base camp. It was then that their expedition began to experience problems. The operator they had paid to provide base camp logistics told them they only had three days left as they were going. Cas developed health problems. Soon Wilco found himself high on Kanch with a climber he didn't know and a very young and inexperienced Sherpa. Wilco faced a decision that would test his character and test his commitment to the style head sworn to honor. It's a fascinating interview where we talk about our Broad Peak experience, Wilco and Ger on K2 in 2008, and Wilco and Cas this year on Kanch. I take the opportunity to ask Wiclo his views on the changes we are seeing in the world of mountaineering of excessive use of oxygen, inexperienced clients with unqualified guides, helicopters, and more.

Keith Renninson built up a successful career in the financial services industry for more than two decades until he hit a midlife crisis. After realizing he wasn't satisfied with where his life and career were headed, Keith decided to travel alone to the Himalayas to find himself again.   As he landed, terrible snow storms began to hit the Everest region. Keith found himself lost in the mountains within the first four hours of his trek. His new award-winning book “Tenacity: You Don't Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!” is based on the trip.   Today he's an award-winning author and keynote speaker known as “The Tenacity Expert.” He helps people overcome burnout and stress so they can experience more freedom, fulfillment and fun.    In this episode, he shares more on:   How several passion projects became the catalyst for Keith's midlife crisis A change in plans resulted in getting lost near Mt. Kanchenjunga (and the story of his rescue) What it really takes to bounce back from life's biggest challenges The important role of common sense plays in building tenacity and resilience A simple “three-finger-method” Keith learned for calming himself down Defining retirement by what makes you feel like you'll live a long time   Links https://www.keithrenninson.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithrenninson

सिक्किम की राजधानी गैंगटॉक एक ऐसा शहर है जहाँ बौद्ध भिक्षुओं और फिल्म स्टार डैनी डेंज़ोंग्पा का हर मोड़ पर बोलबाला है। बौद्ध भिक्षु यहाँ शांति से लेकर अशांति तक हर जगह किसी न किसी रूप में मौजूद हैं। और डैनी का ऐसा रुतबा है की सारे रेस्टोरेंट और होटल वाले अपनी प्रॉपर्टी को डैनी का बता कर ही बेचते हैं। इंसानों से हटकर देखें तो कंचनजंगा का शिखर शहर पर ताज की तरह दिखाई देता है लेकिन उसकी आत्मा शहर के अंचे मठ में बस्ती है। In the shadows of Kanchenjunga: GangtokSikkim's capital Gangtok is a city where buddhist monks and Indian film star Danny Danzongpa are present in every nook and cranny. The monks have a finger in every pie from peace to rather lack of it. And Danny? It seems every restaurant and hotel belongs to him as the owners use him as their calling card. Away from the human intervention is Mount Kanchenjunga who lords over Gangtok but her soul resides in the city's Anchay Monastery.

L'alpiniste Peter Hámor part pour une autre expédition himalayenne. Il tentera de conquérir sans oxygene la troisieme plus haute montagne du monde, Kanchenjunga, culminant a 8586 metres. Le Centre d'information sur la migration (MIC) de l'OIM est le premier et jusqu'a présent le seul centre d'information en Slovaquie qui offre aux étrangers sous un meme toit des services complets dans le domaine du conseil juridique, social et de l'emploi, de la formation continue et de l'intégration sur le marché du travail, tant en soutenant la vie des communautés étrangeres.

This is episode 25 – and I'm going to take a closer look at the Pakistan international Airlines Crash in Katmandu in 1992 along with a Thai Airlines accident there a few week earlier. The Pakistan crash comes via a suggestion by a listener called Herman. Thanks for the chat the other evening and also a big thank you for your great suggestion Herman. But before then we'll probe two other accidents in the Alps involving Air India planes – and they're full of mystery and surprises – and a box full of gemstones. It's unique that two aircraft from the same airline hit the same place – particularly in a completely different continent to their place of origin but that is what happened to Air India 101 a Boeing 707-437 nicknamed Kanchenjunga registration VT-DMN which hit the 15700 foot high Mont Blanc in 1966. The other was Air India Flight 245 which crashed roughly in the same place but years before in 1950. Then the Pakistan International Airlines Flight 268 - an Airbus A300, registration AP-BCP, which crashed while approaching Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport on 28 September 1992. The final accident in this end of year bumper edition was the Thai Airways International Flight 311 which crashed north of Kathmandu and to be quite blunt this one was categorically one of pilot error.

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks with a dear friend, traveler and host of the podcast Baap beeti, Vaibhav Dewan!Today's destination: Darjeeling and Kalimpong!Nearest Airport: Bagdogra Airport, IXBNearest Railway Station: New Jalpaiguri, NJPPrerequisites - NAPacking - Make sure to carry warm clothes and accessoriesTime of the year - April, September-October is a good timeLength of the itinerary: 6-7 daysItinerary Highlights:Vaibhav shares his itinerary around Darjeeling and Kalimpong, traveling with a toddler! The journey starts with a flight to Bagdogra or New Jalpaiguri, depending on your mode of transport.The team hails a cab ride from the station to reach Darjeeling. The first day is spent seeing around the area, including the Cable car/ropeway, which is one of the longest in Asia.The area near Chowrasta and the Mall road are full of tourists along with eateries as well as local shops to shop for souvenirs as well as restaurants and cafes.A visit to St.Joseph's school, North Point is also well worth the time, and is the location of the popular bollywood flick, “Yaariyan”Tenzing Norgay Rock and Gombu Rock are other attractions in memory of the famous Sherpa mountaineers, Tenzing and Gombu Norgay.While in Darjeeling, make sure to try out the world famous Darjeeling tea. A visit to a tea estate also helps one understand the history of tea as well as the numerous types of tea grown in this area.The local markets around the mall road also have a variety of momos sold by locals, make sure to try that out.Other nature related places that should make it to your itinerary include Rock Garden, which has a variety of plants and trees and involves a small trek to a waterfall.Next up on the itinerary was a trip to the Dali monastery, along with the museum - a great chance to interact with the monks and understand the buddhist religion and culture. There are other popular monasteries like Ghum, Aloo bari, Bhooti Basti among others.A visit to Darjeeling is incomplete without experiencing the Darjeeling Himalayan railway - make sure to take a joy ride on the popular ‘toy train'. A short trip to Batasia loop is a must do - the location of the popular hit “mere sapno ki rani' starring Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore! The railways are also a UNESCO world heritage site!Next stop is the Japanese peace pagoda built by the Nipponzhan Myohoji foundation to promote peace in the aftermath of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Another important point of interest is Tiger Hill, one of the most visited spots to get a view of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world at 8586m, after Mt. Everest and Mt.K2.Some popular eateries in the area include Keventers, Glenarys, Kunga's, Nathmull's, HImalayan coffee, Margaret's deck. Also don't forget to try the local spicy chilli - Daale, but try at your own risk!Kalimpong is not too far away from Darjeeling but provides an offbeat experience compared to it's more popular sibling. Places to check out include Lamahatta park, Durpin monastery, Cacti park and pineview nursery, Graham's homeschools, Morgan house and Crookety, Mangal Dham among others.Links:Vaibhav's podcast - Baap Beeti: https://open.spotify.com/show/5cELVD4HYXq0sAQ2lSKaccInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pregnantpapa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dewanekhaasLink to the Andaman Islands episode: https://shows.ivmpodcasts.com/show/the-musafir-stories-india-travel-podcast-yg3r-RgjYIgajKrExt2J2/episode/99-andaman-islands-with-vaibhav-dewan-mznq-IqY1WlDHPAvAzyb7?startTime=0Photo by Joy Amed on UnsplashFollow the Musafir stories on:Twitter : https://twitter.com/musafirstories?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/?hl=enwebsite: www.themusafirstories.comemail: themusafirstories@gmail.comYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at http://www.ivmpodcasts.com/

Hello Interactors,Today we’re branching into topography and the role western colonial expansion plays in the creation and articulation of our naturally occurring geography. Most of us are not very skilled at critiquing the role maps have played in shaping how we see the globe and the people on it. But I’m optimistic that when we do we can better confront the boundaries that maps have created between people and place.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…NAME THAT PLACEI spent last April talking about how the United States was surveyed and diced in little squares that are featured in our maps today. It was a technique ripped out of ancient Rome as a way to rationally quantify space across massive swaths of land. The United States perfected gridded cartesian cadastral cartography, but drawing little lines on paper as a means of assessing, assuming, and asserting control over land had been done for centuries by European colonial settlers around the world – beginning in the Renaissance. The Renaissance accelerated mapping. This was an era of discovering new knowledge, instrumentation, and the measuring and quantification of the natural world. Mercator’s projection stemmed from the invention of perspective; a word derived from the Latin word perspicere – “to see through.” European colonial maps were drawn mostly to navigate, control, and dominate land – and its human occupants. We have all been controlled by these maps in one way or other and we still are. Our knowledge of the world largely stems from the same perspective Mercator was offering up centuries ago. The entire world sees the world through the eyes of Western explorers, conquerors, and cartographers. That includes elements of maps as simple as place names. Take place names in Africa, as an example. The country occupied by France until 1960, Niger, comes from the Latin word for “shining black”. Its derogatory adaptation by the British added another ‘g’ making a word we now call the n-word. But niger was not the most popular Latin word used to describe people of Africa, it was an ancient Greek derivative; Aethiops – which means “burn face”. If you replace the ‘s’ at the end with the ‘a’ from the beginning, you see where the name Ethiopia comes from. Even the name of my home state of Iowa has dubious origins. Sure it’s named after the Indigenous tribe, the Iowa or Ioway, but the Iowa people did not call themselves that. They referred to themselves in their own language as the Báxoje (Bah-Kho-Je). They settled primarily in the eastern and south eastern part of the land we now call Iowa. Most of them were forced to relocate to reservations in Kansas and Oklahoma. It’s believed the name Iowa, came from a Sioux word – ayuhwa which means “sleepy ones.” It would be like the south winning the Civil War and then turning around and declaring the region to their north henceforth be referred to as: Yankees. Even the word Sioux is a French cheapening of a word from the Ojbiwe people– Nadouessioux (na·towe·ssiw). The Sioux were actually a nation combined of the Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota people. They referred to themselves as Oceti Sakowin (oh-CHEH-tee SHAW-kow-we) or “Seven Council Fires”. They covered the sweeping plains of most of what we now call Minnesota; which stems from the Dakota phrase Mni Sota Makoce – “where the waters reflect the sky”. They extended south to the northwest corner of so-called Iowa and east to the more aptly named state of South Dakota. These people were expelled from Minnesota after the Dakota War of 1862. They continue to suffer today the pains felt by America’s largest mass execution in history at the hands of none other than Abraham Lincoln. Just months after signing the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln ordered 38 Dakota and Lakota men to be hung. Dissatisfied with the pace and politics of the makeshift trial of 303 Indigenous people, he decided on his own who should live and who should die. On April 23rd, 1863 the United States declared their treaties with the Lakota and Dakota null and void, closed their reservations, and marched them off their land. It took until this year, 2021, for the United States to give a southern sliver of land back to them. And in Northern Minnesota they’re still fighting to protect the water that reflects the sky.MAPS AND MATH FROM A MAN FROM BATH There’s another Westernized place name just west of where the Dakota and Lakota people thrived called Gannett Peak. It’s the tallest mountain in the state of Wyoming and is part of the Bridger-Teton range. I’m sure you’ve heard of the more popular neighboring range, the Grand Teton’s; another notable (and sexist) French place name which means – ‘Big Boobs’. Gannett Peak is named after Henry Gannett – the father of American mapmaking. Born in Bath, Maine in 1846 he went on to graduate from Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School in 1869. After some time in the field documenting geology from the Great Lakes to the mines of Colorado he returned to Harvard for a degree in mining engineering. He spent a couple years working at the Harvard College Observatory making maps and calculating the building’s precise longitude. He then was hired as the chief astronomer-topographer-geographer by the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories in 1872. A mouthful. Perhaps daunted by such a long name for a department charged with precision and clarity of information, the USGGST was shortened to USGS in 1779 – the U.S. Geological Society. Some claim Gannett lobbied for USGGS in an attempt to maintain the word geographical and not just geological. If so, he was likely outvoted by his boss and prominent geologist, Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden. His book, The Great West: its Attractions and Resources gives you a clue as to why geologists were maybe more revered than geographers in the late seventeen and eighteen hundreds. After all, there’s gold in them there hills.The study of naturally occurring geometric properties and their spatial relations over a continuous plane is the work of topology. Documenting and surveying those studies is the work of a topographer. And the artifact they generate is called a topographic map. The first large scale topographic mapping project was Cassini’s Geometric Map of France in 1792. Then, in 1802 the British followed with the highly precise topographic map of India. As I’ve noted in previous posts, the earliest surveying and mapping of the British colonies and the United States were funded and controlled by government backed private companies like the Hudson Bay Company in the 1600s and the Ohio Company of Associates in the 1700s. IT’S UP TO YOU TO QUESTION YOUR VIEWThe topographic map of India was also directed by a British colonizing super-spreader the East India Company. They, together with the British government, had been at it for 200 years already. But in the early 1800s they were seeking accuracy. They wanted far more precise control over the Indigenous land, resources, trade, and people. The people of India are second to Africa in genetic diversity and emerged via Africa through the Indus River valley; hence the name India. This massive southeast Asian continent was first named by the Spanish or Portuguese – India is Latin for “Region of the Indus River”. The map that the East India Company commissioned in 1802 is called the Great Trigonometrical Survey. Trigonometry had already been awhile. In 140BC its Greek inventor, Hipparchus, used it, as the British did, for spherical trigonometry – the relationship of spherical triangles that emerge when three circles wrapping around a sphere intersect to form a spherical triangle. It’s used to measure the spherical curvature of the earth and was employed with precision by the East India Company using instruments with cool names like theodolite and Zenith sector. What resulted was a map of India featuring a fine-grained triangulated lattice accurately depicting the designated borders of British claimed territories. It was also the first accurate height measurements of Mount Everest, K2, and Kanchenjunga. Those heights were surveyed by Indigenous Tibetan surveyors who were secretly hired and trained by the British. Europeans were not allowed into Tibet at the time, so the surveyors had to pretend they were just hiking. This trigonometrical triangulated technique was the first accurate measure of a section of the longitudinal arc. The same arced sections that defined the curved edges of Henry Gannett’s topographic quadrangle mapping system which he perfected seventy years later on the other side of the globe at an arc distance of roughly 8,448 miles or 13,595 kilometers.Gannett’s career arc makes it easy to see why he figures prominently in American geography. Following is just a sampling of his contributions.He was the first geographer assigned to the census for the country’s tenth census survey. Gannett was responsible for drawing the first census tracts and invented the enumeration of districts based on population and geography. He chaired the Board of Geographic Names and later wrote a book on the history of United States place names. You can read a digitized version online. It includes a surprisingly long list of place names across the country and their origins. He demarcated the first 110,000 miles of national forests and served as Teddy Roosevelt’s research program director for his National Conservation Commission which projected future natural resource use.He helped form the National Geographic Society, Association of American Geographers, and other astronomy and geology clubs.He published two hundred articles on human geography, cartography, and geomorphology all while editing a handful of journals and publishing textbooks.The topographical techniques and programs Gannett pioneered were used all the way to the 1980’s and 90’s as GPS and computers took over. As amazing as his work was, it was no match for satellite imagery, GPS, and computer imaging. The topography he painstakingly surveyed and mapped is now available to anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection.Gannett was one of many geographers throughout the history of western colonization. Sure he was more influential than most, but they were all tasked with the same thing. Whether it was triangulating British territories in India, finessing French regions in Africa, or delineating Dutch districts in Brazil they were all measuring, mapping, and manipulating how others should see the world. It’s the paradox of mapmaking. No matter your intent, whatever line you draw will reflect the bias you bring. Mercator was biased by perspective because that’s what the culture of his time led him to do. Gannett mapped natural occurring features of the land because the mapping of minerals and other natural resources was in high demand. Iowa was named Iowa because that’s what they knew. Even attempts to counter-map the dominance of cartesian colonial cartography can’t escape its own bias. Nobody can. But we live on a melting planet, so our days remain a few. If we’re going to survive this calamity, we must see that our thoughts are skewed. So the next you look at a map, consider its point of view. If we all do this together, we can invent a world anew.

A cache of preserved newspapers from 1966 has emerged from a melting glacier in France, the latest in a string of objects that have been revealed as the glacier retreats.Café-owner Timothée Mottin found about a dozen newspapers dating from January 20 and 21, 1966 near the Bossons Glacier, southeastern France, he told CNN.The newspapers are "in a very good state, you can read them, unfold them," he said. "Well, they are a bit torn, but in a very good state nonetheless."The Bossons Glacier is the largest ice fall in Europe, according to the French government, and descends from the summit of Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in Western Europe.Mottin has owned the Cabane du Cerro café-restaurant, about an hour outside the ski town of Chamonix, for the past five years.The business is right next to the glacier at an altitude of over 4,400 feet, and Mottin often finds objects in the ice."As the glacier is advancing, it brings with it objects from the top of the Mont Blanc," he said.Timothée Mottin found the newspapers on the Bossons Glacier. (Photo / AFP via Getty/CNN)However, Mottin added, it's quite rare to find newspapers, especially this many at once."For now, the newspapers will be displayed in the restaurant/cabin that is just by the glacier, and then, we will see, maybe I'll give it to a museum," he said.One of the newspapers is the January 20 edition of India's National Herald, announcing the election of Indira Gandhi as the country's first female prime minister.The newspapers may have been on board an Air India Boeing 707 named "Kanchenjunga" that crashed on Mont Blanc on January 24, 1966, killing 117.Another Indian plane, the Malabar Princess, crashed in the area in 1950, killing all 48 people on board.Debris from the wrecks routinely emerges from the bottom of the glacier, including metal, wire and even a piece of landing gear discovered in 1986, according to a Mont Blanc tourist site.However, one of the most eye-catching discoveries was made in 2013, when a climber found a box of emeralds, rubies and sapphires marked "Made in India" on the mountain.It is not clear which plane had carried the gems.text by Jack Guy and Barbara Wojazer, CNN

¿Creemos en los ángeles de la guarda? ¿Pensáis que hay protectores de lugares y de personas que se manifiestan cuando más lo necesitamos? ¿Existe el “factor tercer hombre”? Nuestro invitado, Javier Pérez Campos, autor de “Los Guardianes”, sabe mucho de esas presencias o entidades que ayudan, advierten o protegen a alpinistas o exploradores para salvar sus vidas in extremis. Como el caso que dio origen al libro “127 horas” de Aron Ralston o de aquellos seres que, providencialmente, aparecen en épocas de pandemias. Marta Sanmamed nos presentará a Carlos Pauner, el montañero aragonés que tuvo una dramática experiencia en la cumbre del Kanchenjunga y lo que allí llegó a ver y sentir. Pablo Vergel nos glosará un famoso libro de Hilary Evans, publicado por Reediciones Anómalas, en el cual se habla del enigma de las apariciones y los amigos invisibles. Además, Carlos Canales nos dirá la importancia de llamarse Hugh Williams. David Sentinella narrará la ECM que tuvo el neurocirujano Eben Alexander. Juan Ignacio Cuesta contará su anécdota del “Soplador”. Y Pepa Llausas nos recomendará algunos documentales y películas sobre estas temáticas, como “La leyenda de Vagger Vance”. Terminaremos con la “parábola del puercoespín” contada por Jesús Callejo.

Mamen Etxaniz ha caminado 1100 kilometros durnate 70 días por el Himalaya de Nepal. Nos relata la primera gran etapa: desde la zona del Kanchenjunga al Everest. El montañero de Huelva Teo Gonzalez Garcia lleva el proyecto "Montañas que humean". Quiere ascender volcanes. De momento ha subido al Teide y algunos de Cabo Verde. Mar Ramirez nos pasea por las ciudades más importantes de Irán y la cultura persa. Isaías Cruz y Jon Luzuriaga son especialista en bucear con tiburones en la costa vasca....

From our first day there, people kept asking us, “Have you seen Kanchenjunga yet?” In my ignorance, I didn't even know what Kanchenjunga was, but I was pretty sure I hadn't seen it.

Juan Pablo Sarjanovich, @el_sarja, es un montañista argentino que ha logrado dos cumbres de sobre 8,000 metros en los últimos años y sigue en búsqueda de los picos más altos del mundo... En esta foto se encuentra en el 3er pico más alto del mundo, M. Kanchenjunga a 8,586 metros sobre el nivel del mar; primer argentino en esta cumbre. En esta maravillosa conversación el nos cuenta su historia desde sus comienzos en su niñez, sus primeras expediciones, lo que conlleva la preparación para los “8000”, sus dos experiencias de cumbre, la comercialización de las expediciones en los Himalayas, el tema de la muerte en el montañismo, entre muchas otras cosas...

Discover the relentless climber who changed the world's deadliest sport... In the early 1960s, a woman decided that the way men were dominating the world of mountain climbing didn’t make any sense. She went on to defy the whole community and became an icon, a trail-blazer who energised the whole community of female climbers and proved that women are capable of being self-sufficient, excellent climbers.   Her name was Wanda Rutkiewicz and to date, she is one of the most memorable female climbers, the first European to climb Mount Everest, the first woman ever to climb K2, and the only female climber of her time who could challenge men and prove to them women were equal.   However, underneath all this success there was loneliness, dejection, and desperate efforts to build a normal life outside of 8000-metre-high peaks…   Like our show? Sign up for our newsletter!

Bernadette is a Canadian-born author of several non-fiction books, primarily on mountain culture topics, including Brotherhood of the Rope, Tomaž Humar, and Freedom Climbers. Her most recent book Art Of Freedom, tells the story of another outstanding Polish climber: Voytek (Wojtek) Kurtyka Piotr Pustelnik / for taking time out of his busy day and sharing with us his views on Wanda and mountain climbing in general. Piotr is a legendary climber, and one of the few people who has successfully climbed all fourteen of the eight-thousanders. He recently released his autobiography: Ja, Pustelnik.

A Ghost Story with Altitude "I scared myself when I was writing it!" Michelle Paver's classic Gothic ghost story is set on Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas in 1935, the twilight of the Empire but the golden age of mountaineering. It has all the elements of the perfect ghost story but as she says, "not many people have set a ghost story at 23,000 feet." for more go to www.radiogorgeous.com #books #scary #ghost #ThinAir

Darjeeling tea, like other members of its artisanal tribe serrano peppers, Champagne, and grana padano,exists through a combination of intimate understanding of natural forces, intensive labor, and lifelong dedication. The result is a small output of unparalleled quality. The town where Darjeeling tea grows, in West Bengal, India, in the foothills of the Himalayas, is a setting of immense beauty, complicated history, and environmental fragility. Even transporting this precious tea to Kolkata, where it is traded 400 miles away down on the Indian plains, is subject to the whims of climate: monsoons and narrow mountain roads, often washed out by mudslides. Does a tea warrant such efforts? In Darjeeling (Bloomsbury, 2015), Jeff Koehler explains why the answer is “yes.” There is nothing simple about Darjeeling, this single estate agricultural product. He weaves a web of stories: how this non-native plant came to India, how a tea garden functions, what the role of tea taster is (there’s lots of spitting, as in wine tasting), how many different colors a cup of Darjeeling may have (depends on the pour and the season), how many “plucks”–two young leaves with a bud–make one pound (10,000), and why it continues to hold the highest price paid at auction. For its success, everything depends on the deepest knowledge of unknowable factors. Some of these factors threaten the future of Darjeeling: worker absenteeism, regional political unrest, erosion, climate change, balancing agricultural methods with its Western market’s obsession for “organic.” There are 85 tea gardens in Darjeeling. Glenburn, from which the Himalayan peak Kanchenjunga is visible on a clear day, is one of them. Its manager, Sanjay Bansal, says this about his work: “Tea planting is unrivaled in scope for creativity. It’s endless.” The book is illustrated with maps, archival images, and the author’s evocative photographs. And he has not forgotten to include several recipes for foods to accompany our cup of Darjeeling. Darjeeling has been nominated for the 2016 International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) award in the Literary Food Writing category. Jeff Koehler is a writer and photographer whose four earlier books have focused on the foods and cultures of Spain and Morocco. Valerie Saint-Rossy is a freelance editor, translator, and writer. She is copy chief of The Explorers Journal. Her literary translations from Spanish and her book reviews can be found online. Raised in a UNESCO family, she has broad international experience and works in four languages. Her editorial specialization is world cuisines. Learn more about your ad choices.

We’ve been inspired to share writings and poems by Bhante Sangharakshita this month. Our FBA Podcast today, “Sangharakshita – Facing Mount Kanchenjunga”, is a delightful talk from 1991. Sangharakshita starts by reading an extract from the new volume of his autobiography, Facing Mount Kanchenjunga. He follows this by talking about and reading eight poems that he composed in Kalimpong which give a real feel for his appreciation of the place but also for his worries about the effect of logging in the mountains. The talk was given on November 28, 1991, in Croydon Buddhist Centre as part of the book launch for his autobiography. Croydon has been home to FWBO or Triratna Buddhist communities and centres since 1968. Many early talks by well known speakers were recorded, both at Aryatara, since 1979, and at the new Croydon Centre from 1981. These are now being transferred from their crumbling cassettes to digital format, as part of the Croydon Digital Archive Project, and are being made available to everyone.

Hoy vamos a comprobar que las ganas de viajar no se pasan con los años. El montañero Carlos Soria coronaba la semana pasada a los 75 años el Kanchenjunga, su ochomil número 11 de los 14 del planeta, y hoy vamos a conocer la historia de Jose Antonio Rodríguez que partió a los 70 de Barcelona en 4x4 para dar la vuelta al mundo durante un año y no regresó hasta cumplir los 75, acumular más de 227.000 kilómetros y generar todavía más ganas de continuar. Hablamos con él para que nos desvele qué sucede a esa edad, cuál fue su ruta y cómo se vive en un 4x4 por el mundo.

Kiko Betelu nos descubre una nueva cima olvidada: el Nanda Devi en pleno Himalaya, con sus 7.861 metros es la segunda montaña más alta de India después del Kanchenjunga (8.586 m) y la número 23 del planeta. Pero no es su altura lo que la convierte en una cima emblemática sino el círculo de picos de seis mil metros que la rodea y que da lugar al Santuario del Nanda Devi. Más de 50 años fueron necesarios de exploraciones hasta encontrar el desfiladero que llevara a su cima entre pasos de más de 3.300 m sobre su base, algo comparable al perfil local del K2. En el año 1936 alcanzó su cima una expedición británica-estadounidense liderada por los montañeros H.W. Tilman y Noel Odell que la convirtieron en la montaña más alta alcanzada por el hombre hasta el ascenso del Annapurna en 1950. El Santuario de la diosa Nanda se presenta ahora como un duro reto al alcance de muy pocos con un férreo control del gobierno indio para preservar su ecosistema de las basuras y aglomeraciones aunque ella misma se protege por la dureza de sus caminos y la exigencia de sus escaladas. La diosa Nanda es todavía hoy una zona muy virgen en el que se encuentra el Leopardo de las Nieves, el zorro rojo, el oso tibetano, además de ríos enloquecidos por el deshielo de los glaciares. El Gobierno Indio cerró el Santuario a las expediciones extranjeras durante gran parte de los años 60 hasta una década después. Hasta la CIA se sintió atraída por esta montaña con el intento en los años 1965 y 1968 por colocar un artefacto de espionaje que funcionara con plutonio para vigilar una posible actividad nuclear de China en el Tíbet. El artefacto se perdió en una avalancha, tal vez provocada por la propia diosa consciente del valor de sus paisajes.

Bipartisanship (and friendship) happen! An evening with Congressman Bob Beauprez and Senator Mark Udall Event Date: Dec 10, 2019 Event Time: 6:30 PM Location: Glenn Miller Ballroom, UMC We hope you were able to join us for a public conversation between former Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez and former Democratic Congressman and Senator Mark Udall. The evening began with a discussion of their sturdy and long-lasting friendship, and then moved to a wide-ranging conversation about issues on which they agree, disagree, and half-agree! The Center of the American West's Faculty Director and Chair of the Board, Patty Limerick, and the Moses Lasky Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Colorado, Charles Wilkinson moderated the conversation. Bob Beauprez served as Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party from 1999-2002. In 2002, Bob was elected as the first representative from Colorado's seventh congressional district and re-elected in 2004. He was the Republican nominee for Governor in 2006 and 2014. In addition to his writing, political, and other activities, Bob says his greatest enjoyment comes from Eagle's Wing Ranch, the buffalo breeding ranch in the northern Colorado Mountains that he operates with Claudia, his wife of 49 years, and Jim and Julie Beauprez, their second eldest son and daughter-in-law. Colorado resident and native westerner Mark Udall represented the people of Colorado in the U.S. Senate from 2009 to 2015 and the 2nd Congressional District from 1999 to 2009. Prior to serving in Congress, Mark served as course director and later as executive director at Colorado Outward Bound School. Mark is an avid mountaineer and has climbed or attempted some of the world’s most challenging peaks, including Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Denali, and Aconcagua. This was the first event in the upcoming 3 year "Bipartisanship (and friendship) happen!" speaker series. Look for updates on who will be coming next! This event was free and open to the public.
