What if I was to ask you where the Himalayan Mountains are located, would you be able to answer correctly? If no was your answer, I would have to agree, and I think a lot of people would not know either. The Himalayan Mountains can be seen in the northern part of India, and in the south of India’s subcontinent. Furthermore, they are divided into three ranges, the Outer Himalayans, the Lesser Himalayans, and the Great Himalayans. They have over 110 peaks and their heights range from 10,000FT to 30,000FT high. The Himalayans are very popular, amongst, tourists and mountain climbers. According to historychannel.com, over 2700 people have climbed the famous Mount Everest, which is located in the Great Himalayans and over 200 have died, over failed attempts. Mountain climbing can be a fascinating experience, and it’s proven to attract more people each day, because of its beauty and heights. (History channel)
India’s republic is located in the Asia. The capital city is New Delhi. It is made up of 28 states, a National Capital Territory and six union territories. With their enormous population, India has become the second in over population, while China is first, with a total of 1.35 billion people. India’s population is over 1 billion, in other words, there are roughly 1000 citizens per square mile. It’s predicted that India will take the number one spot, in total population by the year of 2030, with an estimated of 1.53 billion people. (Columbia Encyclopedia)
Here is another important fact, did you know, years ago, the life expediency of an Indian was 65 years old? I researched this further more and here are the results to prove the above, 50% of their population was below the age of 25, and 65% below the age of 35. Over 4% of thei...

(“Facts about mountains for kids”) This is not a solid definition of mountains, but it is a general statement. Mountains typically have steep, sloping sides and sharp peaks. (“Facts about mountains for kids”) With these sloping sides come different levels to a mountain. The lowest level are the broadleaf forests then the middle slopes that are colder and have conifer trees. The next level of tree growth is called the timberline, then there are alpine plants, and finally at the very top there is nothing but snow covered rocks. (Simon, Seymour. pg.23 ) With every different level, there comes different plant and wildlife. The elevation also determines the human population, because the higher up the mountain you go the less oxygen; therefore, you will probably feel dizzy and short of breath. (Simon, Seymour pg. 25) Humans can climb mountains such as Everest, but few to none live there full time because of the reduction of oxygen. Mountains influence environments and are important to
Everest in 1996. This became the deadliest expedition to ever climb with 15 people losing their lives. Krakauer explains his intrinsic motivations to accept this challenge and many of the mistakes that helped lead to the disasters of that day. He includes himself, and explicitly blames himself for at least one person's death. The experience affects him profoundly, and in addition to telling the story, the book focuses on how Krakauer is forever changed as a result of what happened. All of the clients have difficulty adjusting to the altitude, tiring easily, losing weight and moving slowly. The climbers' experience in mountain climbing and at high altitudes varies some of them are quite qualified, others very inexperienced and highly reliant on the
Tibet is located on the highest plateau (about 472,000-sq mi.) in the world at a height of 12,000 feet, in the Himalayas. India borders the country, south and west, Nepal and Bhutan, south, and China, north and east.
Ever since people knew it was possible to reach the summits of Mount Everest about 4,000 people have attempted to climb it and a one in four ratio of people have died from doing so. “Once Everest was determined to be the highest summit on earth, it was only a matter of time before people decided that Everest needed to be climbed” (Krakauer 13). The very first person to reach the summits of Mount Everest was in 1953 also ever since then about seven percent out of every 4,000
The magnificent Mt. Everest; a scenic natural location that has been a place famous for mountaineering for years. However, people have been debating whether or not Mt.Everest should be closed down temporarily for safety precautions or if the dangers should be supported. I am an opponent towards mountaineering because of the dangers involving both the people and nature involved.
Everest is an unbelievable mountain that has taken the lives of a number of the greatest climbers in history. It was my job to ensure that clients make it up that treacherous mountain safely. My name is Rob Hall. I was the main guide and cofounder of a climbing company called Adventure Consultants. My friend, Gary Ball, and I used to be professional climbers. Together we succeeded in climbing to the highest summit on each of the seven continents in seven months. This was our greatest achievement. After this, we decided to start our own company guiding clients up large mountains. In May 1992, we successfully led six clients to the summit of Everest. Unfortunately, Gary died of cerebral edema in October 1993 during an attempt on the world’s sixth-tallest mountain. He died in my arms and the next day I buried him in a crevasse. Despite the pain that his death had caused me, I continued guiding for our company and eventually led thirty-nine climbers to the summit of Everest.
Bhutan is a kingdom of the Himalayas, located between the northeast of India and China. The population of Bhutan is approximately 673,000 inhabitants. In the late 1980s, the Royal Government of Bhutan was concerned about the sharp increase in the population of Lhotshampa in southern Bhutan. 5,000 Bhutanese will be resettled in Canada after having lived in camps in southeastern Nepal since the early 1990s. The majority of refugees in Nepal have been displaced for more than 15 years, with no possibility of resuming their lives. Canada is committed to finding solutions for the refugees so the refugees are settled in more than 21 communities. Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,

Nepal is a relatively small country, 100 miles wide by 500 miles long. The southern border is tropical with rich soils, flora and fauna; making this region of Nepal densely populated by humans (Bishop 1998:10). The mountainous region, however, is more sparsely populated. It is the Sherpa who populate these mountains, specifically the middle Himalayan range (Bishop 1998:11).

Mount Everest, the world’s highest point at 29,035 feet, is a special trophy among high altitude mountaineers. Standing atop the world’s highest point a hypoxic climber clad in a fluorescent down suit is above everything else on the planet, for a moment that individual can reach farther into the sky than any other. Arms raised in a victorious salute, a climber feels like they have conquered something that few others ever have, and justifiably so. The summit is usually the final fruition of months, sometimes years of planning, weeks of travel and acclimatization, and days of endless plodding at a feeble, learning-to-walk pace.
