Podcasts about Sagarmatha

Ils ont échappé à l'interdiction totale de voler, mais de peu : après 24 heures de perturbations et de discussions, les pilotes d'hélicoptère au Népal ont pu retrouver leurs touristes et les déposer sur l'Everest. Depuis l'automne dernier, une association de jeunes défenseurs de l'environnement empêche régulièrement les appareils d'atterrir. Le blocage s'est aggravé cette semaine du 6 janvier dans le parc de Sagarmatha, classé au patrimoine mondial. Or, c'est étonnant, mais ce n'est pas la pollution des moteurs qui pose le plus problème, c'est la pollution sonore des hélicoptères.      Le bruit d'un hélicoptère dans une vallée de l'Everest, c'est celui d'un hélicoptère multiplié par dix, en raison de l'écho. Au Népal, et plus spécifiquement dans les vallées et montagnes de l'Everest, règne l'anarchie. Chaque pilote vole et atterrit où il peut pour déposer les touristes.Augmentation des animaux retrouvés morts Les jeunes népalais qui empêchent régulièrement les hélicoptères d'atterrir accusent non pas la pollution, mais LES pollutions. Et contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, non pas d'abord la pollution du fuel, mais celle du bruit, qui affole tellement les animaux qu'ils essaient de fuir et se tuent en tombant dans le vide. Seul un expert pilote spécialiste de l'aviation en zone difficile, comme Sylvain Bosc, directeur de la société Avico, peut vous le dire : un hélicoptère, passe encore, mais quand 30 hélicoptères survolent en même temps un parc de l'Everest, ça devient impossible.« L'hélicoptère, en montagne, constitue une pollution sonore et écologique, surtout en montagne où l'environnement silencieux est facilement perturbé par le bruit de l'hélicoptère, qui est effectivement un appareil très bruyant. D'autant plus dans les vallées encaissées où l'écho vient amplifier le bruit. En revanche, est-ce que c'est quelque chose dont on peut se dispenser ? Je ne pense pas, parce qu'on ne peut pas remplacer par des avions, explique-t-il. Pour un avion, il faut une piste. En montagne, évidemment, ce n'est pas possible puisqu'il faut de la place parce que sinon les manœuvres sont trop dangereuses. C'est aussi l'outil d'urgence des secours lorsque la nature, hostile dans ces environnements, peut mettre en danger la vie des hommes. Donc, c'est important d'avoir une approche qui soit nuancée. »L'hélicoptère électrique Ce même Sylvain Bosc s'est spécialisé dans les vols de rapatriements. Pour lui, l'idéal pour résoudre les conflits autour de la pollution et du bruit des hélicoptères serait de réguler les espaces et le nombre de vols. Ou bien d'inventer des hélicoptères électriques : « Peut-être qu'un jour, on pourra avoir des hélicoptères qui seront électriques, mais ce n'est pas pour tout de suite, qui feront moins de bruit, qui seront moins polluants en termes d'émissions, imagine-t-il. Mais aujourd'hui, l'hélicoptère demeure un moyen de transport indispensable, et notamment en montagne. » Malheureusement, malgré les recherches techniques, l'hélicoptère électrique à grande échelle n'est pas encore fabriqué. Tourisme et protection de la nature, peut-être une solutionLe problème pour le gouvernement népalais est de trouver le bon équilibre entre les rentrées d'argent touristique et la protection de l'Everest, de ses ressources humaines et animalières. À lire aussiAu Népal, de nouvelles règles pour rendre l'ascension de l'Everest plus sûre et moins polluanteLes visiteurs, beaucoup d'argent et peu de temps Comme le résume le responsable des industries touristiques au Népal : les touristes ont beaucoup d'argent, mais peu de temps ! Donc, faire 15 jours de transports sur des routes de montagnes dangereuses, inutile d'y penser. Alors que faire ? Des couloirs de vols La solution serait-elle celle du président de l'Association des guides grimpeurs de montagne au Népal ? Après avoir déclaré dans les journaux que se quereller ne résout rien, il propose une solution qui contenterait responsables du parc de Sagarmatha et du tourisme : faire des couloirs réservés, en tenant compte des habitats et des cycles de reproduction des animaux. En somme, des couloirs aériens dédiés aux visites panoramiques aériennes et d'autres, aux atterrissages.À lire aussiLes sherpas, héros de l'ombre de l'Everest

AVSNITT 9 I STORYKALENDERN! Åsskar kan inte tro sina ögon uppe på Sagarmatha. Men är det han ser verkligen sant, eller inbillar han sig bara? Det kommer vi aldrig kunna veta! Ett som är säkert är i alla fall att laviner är farliga och risken finns att Åsskar och jaken fastnar under snön för alltid, men med gott samarbete hittar dom en lösning och Åsskar reser framåt i tiden. Dock inte så långt som han önskar utan han slår ner i vattnet mitt i Stockholm och upptäcker att hela staden är samlad för att se Vasaskeppets jungfrufärd. Han träffar 10-åriga Hans som berättar mer för honom, men när han försöker ta sig närmare för att se bättre går inte allt riktigt som han tänkt sig...  Produceras av Frälsningsarmén www.kylskåpsradion.se

Tú y yo somos corresendas, lo que significa que nos gusta movernos rápido por la naturaleza, fluir por valles, bosques, collados, montañas y crestas. Esos espacios naturales, que son nuestro patio de juegos, nos producen deleite, para los sentidos, y bienestar, para cuerpo y alma. Por consiguiente, nos gustaría que se preservasen tal como son, 100% salvajes y 100% libres de suciedad, contaminación, deforestación, desertificación o urbanización. “Todo lo bello es libre y salvaje”, dijo el filósofo y naturalista HD Thoreau. Pero, ¿se están deteriorando tan drástica y aceleradamente los espacios naturales? Y, de ser así (que ya adelanto que lo es), ¿qué hacemos realmente los y las entusiastas del outdoor para reducir ese daño? Sí, a todo el mundo nos hierve la sangre al ver la escombrera en que se ha convertido el C4 del Everest por la ruta normal. (Es, cuando menos, indignante que, los efectos de la actitud desaprensiva de algunos, se hagan notar en lugares tan remotos como los 7900msnm en la montaña más alta de la Tierra: Everest, Sagarmatha, Chomolungma, la “madre del universo”.) Sí, todo el mundo criticamos los vertidos de las fábricas a la atmósfera o a los ríos. O las emisiones ingentes de los mega-buques portacontenedores. Sí, a todo el mundo nos parece fabulosa la Kilian Jornet Foundation, que defiende la protección de los espacios de montaña, o los “performance”, que la gente de Greenpeace hace a las puertas de donde se celebran las cumbres del clima. Muy bonito todo, pero ¿qué hacemos tú o yo, de verdad, para proteger el medio ambiente? ¿Dónde pones tu cuidado, tu interés, tu dinero, tu voto? No hay que escarbar mucho para darnos cuenta de que, aunque creamos lo contrario, no somos tan ecologistas; de corazón lo somos, pero ¿qué hay de la acción efectiva? Pues, mira, sin ir más lejos, no hay carrera de trail, donde no me encuentre algún envoltorio de gel energético por el recorrido. O, por poner otro ejemplo obvio, veo mucha zapatilla, prenda y mochila flamante en las líneas de salida, lo que me hace pensar que, tal vez, compramos más por capricho que por necesidad. O, por poner otro ejemplo muy a mano, no veo que nadie se extrañe porque la gente decida desplazarse a su carrera en avión, que es un armatoste que consume 1200 litros de combustible cada 100k, 200 veces más que lo que gastarías yendo en coche (aunque, sí, sea un tostón conducir 7h del centro de la Península hasta el Pirineo). Hoy vamos a hablar del estado del medio ambiente de nuestro planeta. Lo haremos para comprobar que, sí, hay cambio climático, hay deforestación y hay desertificación. Hay una crisis medioambiental, por mucho que Donald Trump cuestione el calentamiento global o un tal Mariano Rajoy, que fue presidente del Gobierno en España, llegase a declarar: “mi primo es físico y me dice que, si traes a los mejores diez científicos y les preguntas qué tiempo hará mañana en Sevilla, no te saben contestar con garantías; ¿cómo predecir lo que va a pasar en el mundo en 300 años?” (de verdad, poco se habló de semejante disparate dicho en boca de un presidente). Constatado que el estado de cosas no es el que nos gustaría, pasaremos a revisar las acciones que podemos llevar a cabo para, si no revertir del todo la crisis, al menos sí reducir el impacto ambiental de la actividad humana. O sea, habrá un primer apartado que pintará la cosa como está: muy negra; pero uno segundo, optimista, centrado en lo que podemos hacer. Humildemente, me gustaría pensar que este episodio despertará, no eco-ansiedad, que se traduce en desesperanza y parálisis, y sí actitud proactiva. Desde luego, propuestas de pequeñas acciones cotidianas no van a faltar. Sin más dilación, vamos al turrón.

Glaciers being the water source for local people in the Khumbu region, increasing pollution on Mount Everest has become a health concern. Tshering Sherpa, president of Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), says for sustainable development in the Sagarmatha region, there should be a balance between income generation and protection of the environment.  - सगरमाथा आरोहणका लागी बर्सेनि दशौँ हजार मानिसहरू जाँदा जम्मा भएको फोहोरले सगरमाथाको पर्यावरणका साथै स्थानीयको स्वास्थ्यमा पनि असर पारेको भन्दै सरोकारवालाहरूले चिन्ता व्यक्त गरेका छन्।यसै सन्दर्भमा नेपाल संवाददाता सेवा भट्टराईले सगरमाथा पोलुशन कन्ट्रोल कमिटीका प्रमुख कार्यकारी अधिकृत छिरिङ शेर्पासँग गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

Pack all of your cold weather gear, trash bags, and oxygen tanks. We are heading to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest in Sagarmatha National Park. In the past 80 years over 300 people have died on this mountain and many of their bodies have never been recovered. While tourism to summit Mount Everest has brought money to the country of Nepal it has also brought a huge problem, litter. In a climate where survival is more important than being respectful to our planet, over 100,000 pounds of trash have been left ontop of Mount Everest, cantaminating their water resources. Today we will join a group of Nepali Sherpas who head out to summit Mount Everest to rid it's peaks of garbage but to also recover bodies, something that has never before been done. We will join them on this crueling 29 day adventure where each one of their lives is at risk every single day. With avalanches, freezing temperatures, and oxygen levels not compatible with survival, this team has a lot of obstacles to overcome if they are to make it out alive. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

Nous voilà de retour au Népal, cette fois dans sa région star du Solukhumbu, le toit du monde et la terre des Sherpas. Le voyage commence dans le Solu, où l’on arrive par Phaplu. Cette partie, moins connue que le Khumbu voisin, a pourtant tant à offrir au voyageur. C'est l'endroit idéal pour du trek en moyenne montagne dans une nature verdoyante sur fond de pics himalayens majestueux. C'est aussi la découverte du grand monastère de Chiwong où est célébré le festival Mani Rimdu chaque année. C'est encore la rencontre avec les "chasseurs de miel" perchés sur de hautes falaises, une activité aussi impressionnante que périlleuse. L'aventure continue ensuite dans le Khumbu, que l'on rejoint en trek ou par un atterrissage mémorable à Lukla. De là débute l'un des treks les plus fameux au monde, sur le chemin du camp de base de l'Everest. A partir de là, deux priorités pour le voyageur / aventurier : gérer les effets de l'altitude et s'imprégner au maximum de la beauté et de la grandeur des sommets himalayens : Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Gokyo Ri... Et inévitablement, le chemin mène jusqu'à Gorakshep et le Kala Patthar pour un point de vue imprenable sur l'Everest et ses 8848 mètres. C'est de tout cela et bien plus encore dont nous parlons dans cet épisode avec Thierry Robinet, véritable amoureux du Népal, l'un de ses quatre pays fétiches en Asie. J'en profite aussi pour partager ma récente expédition jusqu'à l'Island Peak, toujours dans ce merveilleux Parc national de Sagarmatha. Toute une aventure !

Mt.Everest(Sagarmatha)8848m, view from Kala Patthar-5545m in Nepal's Khumbu Valley region[/caption] It’s one of the most coveted treks in the world. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Far East Adventure Travel is proud to present two podcasts completely devoted to the magic of trekking this region. From crossing the sometimes trecherous Chola Pass to the final steps arriving at Everest Base Camp. And an early morning ascent of Kala Patthar for one of the best views of Everest in all of Nepal. Join me John Saboe for one of Asia’s great adventures. Trekking to Everest Base Camp. Everest Base Camp, Nepal. Right from the start I was in for a hair raising experience. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, rated as one of the most dangerous airports in the world is often canceled in October, the busy season due to weather conditions. If it’s not cloudy or windy in Lukla, it is in Kathmandu, making it extremely tricky to complete scheduled flights. You can be stranded in Lukla for days waiting for a weather window. Same this goes in Kathmandu. Days! You can avoid the whole worry of flight delays and dangerous weather conditions by trekking all the way to Lukla. Take a bus from Kathmandu to Jiri, about 9 hours. Then just walk for a week! For me, I was extremely lucky to be on one of the first flights that day from Kathmandu to the start of the trek with favorable weather conditions. Previously I had trekked in a couple of regions in Nepal and had been to Everest Base Camp in Tibet. Up until now I had avoided the EBC trek for more remote and quieter trails in Nepal’s Himalaya. But this was the same ground that many mountaineers had trampled including the first two to summit the world’s highest mountain, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. My curiousity with the trails, the lore of the region and the super friendly Sherpa people that make up the largest ethnic group in the Khumbu Valley could no longer be suppressed because of some crowded trails and teahouses with wine bars. As we approached Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla I couldn’t help but think about the History Channel show Most Extreme Airports. In 2010 it rated Tenzing/Hillary the most dangerous airport in the world. There’s no chance for a go around, meaning an aborted landing on final approach due to the high terrain beyond the northern end of the runway. At the southern end, a steeply angled drop into the valley. A safe landing, and an exciting start to one of the world’s great treks! Just have to dodge a few yak before we started. Good practise for the crowded trails we were about to enter. Lukla actually means place of goat or sheep, but all I ever saw were yak, and maybe some horses. As this town is the start and finish for trekking in the Khumbu and Gokyo Valleys there are many lodges, guesthouses, restaurants and even an Irish Pub here! One last stop at the police station for permit checks and we were on our way. At Thadakoshi the first of many steel suspension bridges over the Dud Khosi River we would cross. We took a rest and lunch at Phakding, where most stay the night before trekking onward the next day to Namache Bazaar. The porters with boundless energy take a break for a game of volleyball. I had heard that the trails in the Khumbu Valley were crowded in the peak season in October but I was not prepared for the constant herds of yaks used for moving in camping and supplies for the big trekking groups as well as just bringing goods into the valley for many guesthouses and lodges here. Always remember to move to the side when you see caravans coming. These creatures can get quite nasty. It’s always a great experience to hike through different landscapes and geography on a single trek. The lower Khumbu Dud Khosi valley is full of grazing animals, rich forests and waterfalls. We arrived at our lodgings for the night in the village of Monjo at an altitude of 2835 meters. The guesthouses at these lower elevations are quite luxurious compared to the high altitude. So it’s a good time to appreciate an attached bathroom with a flush toilet and hot water. The next morning we were heading to the gate of Sagarmatha National Park, Sagarmatha is the Nepali name for Mt. Everest. Including Everest, the park is home to 8 peaks over 7000 meters high. It’s also where rare species like the Snow Leopard and Lesser or red panda reside. This is also another police station where permits are checked and trekkers registered. The next stop would be Namche Bazaar, the second largest village in the Khumbu Valley that also has the claim of being the most expensive town in Nepal. Most everything transported into Namche Bazaar must come in on the back of a horse or yak. Sorry though no Mr. Doughnut here, and one piece might cost up to $3. It’s also an acclimatization stop with most staying over two nights before heading into the high Himalaya. More steel suspension bridge crossings and busy trails before a brief rest stop. This one with special prominence as the first chance to gaze at the top of the highest mountain in the world, Everest. One last checkpoint before arriving in Namche Bazaar and a customary kora of the Buddhist stupa that greets you at the entrance to the village. It’s a good place for a two night stay with lots of shops where you can pick up last minute trekking supplies. There’s also plenty of cafes and souvenir stalls. The next morning we walked up the steep steps of the village for an acclimatization hike and to fix our eyes on the most famous peaks on the planet. Just an everyday place for these kids from the Home Away from Home School, where children in the Khumbu Valley can get a solid education without being separated from their families. The snow-capped peak to the left-Mt. Everest 8848meters. The highest surface point on the planet, the roof of the world. The weather can change without warning at high altitude. Within minutes our views of some of the most prominent peaks of the Khumbu Valley disappeared. Ama Dablam, not the highest but certainly one of the most beautiful mountains in the world at first thickly veiled, eventually vanishing in the clouds. The hundreds of trekkers continued to move up from the village,views or no views, putting in their necessary acclimatization time to ensure a successful Everest Base Camp trek. We had finished our work for the day and were back to the crowds, traffic jams and gridlock of Namche Bazaar. The next morning we returned to the trail with the spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam joined by the hundreds of others who were on EBC itineraries. Nearly 10,000 tourists will visit the Khumbu Valley or Everest region on average in October, the busiest time of the year. You really must pay attention when trekking these trails especially when so many others are walking both ways. Not to mention the hundreds of horses and yak used to pack in gear, food and other supplies. Stopping on the trail and stepping out of the way of trekkers and animals is the best way to enjoy the breathtaking views. You must! It was time to move off this trail at Sanasa and head for the Gokyo Valley. Later to rejoin the trail to Everest Base Camp after crossing the Chola La Pass. The Gokyo valley’s trails are much quieter even in the busy month of October compared to the Khumbu Valley. Adding a few days to an Everest Base Camp trek will send you into a Shangri La of high altitude lakes, the highest in the world, and breathtaking views of the Himalaya. Arriving at Gokyo Village with Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world and a sunrise view of Everest and sister peaks from the top of Gokyo Ri was challenging with rewards few ever get. Returning to the Khumbu Valley and resuming the trek to Everest Base Camp would take us across the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest in Nepal and possibly the whole Himalaya before arriving at Thangnak for an overnight rest. The next morning we would rise early for a summit of the Chola Pass at 5420 meters. This is a challenging portion of the trek with a required early 4am rise and the first hour or so in complete darkness with only a headlamp for light. I personally struggled a little on this day with a slower pace due to a strong cold I was fighting off. This can be a dangerous pass to cross with an unstable glacier at the top and slippery sections. The approach is steep and perhaps even more dangerous if you are coming from the other direction and the Khumbu Valley. A favorable weather window is important as the pass is almost impossible to cross after a heavy snowfall. Success and overwhelming joy was shared by all that day under sunny skies. There was still a few trekking hours to log in before arriving at our next stop, Dzhong lha. The views while crossing back into the Khumbu Valley were heart-stopping with Ama Dablam at 6170 meters commanding our attention as we descended into the valley. Ama Dablam means mother’s necklace, the long ridges on either side like a mother’s arms cradling a child. The hanging glacier like the double pendant worn by Sherpa women. It felt especially rewarding when we arrived in Dzhong lha after the longest and hardest day of the trek. The accomplishment of crossing the Cho La pass felt like a big check mark ticked off. It was now time to rest in the dining hall and warm up by the yak dung fuelled fire. Some of the most exciting days of the Everest Base Camp trek were still ahead. So pile on the dung my friend, we need to stay warm!
