Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga

I had planned to go on the Everest Trek, all the way via Kala Pattar to the Everest Base Camp......but the change of temperatures from the Indian Thar desrt to Kathmandu during monsoon gave me a bad cold with fever. So I had to cancel my trekking dream, before I could start it.... But therefore I had two other opportunities to the one and only Mt.Everest.

My first view on this magnificent mountain as well as on the Kanchenjunga (3rd highest) was taken on my return flight from Bhutan. The clouds cover all the mountainrange with big names like Lhotse, Makalu and Choy Oyu - except one peak, the peak of the highest mountain of this planet, Mt.Everest.
This view is of course not what you can call watching by "fair means".

But my second possibility from Tingri/Tibet show a "fair" view on the mountain, called Qomolangma by Tibetans and Sagarmata by the Nepali people. We stood for ours in Tingri watching the Mt. Everest hiding behind clouds (hours, because the road was closed due to rebuilding anyway). Even if the was no perfect view on it, the scene of this montain range is incredibly fascinating!

Great video mate. Music is a bit different though.

You're fortunate to have been there..

You are right, the music sounds very weird - but the lyrics say "freedom must be endless above the clouds, all worries and troubles stay hidden below the clouds....."

It shows your ignorance and disrespect to continue calling the mountain "Everest". The mountain's REAL name is Mt. Qomolangma, which was given long before British colonialists "discovered" it. The ignorance and arrogance of the British is where the name "Everest" comes from. In the age of information, what's the excuse for perpetuating this ignorance from the 19th century British? Would it be appropriate if people referred to the highest mountain in the European Alps by an Asian name?

.At 0:12 all the names are explained....how ignorant can someone be, judging a video without watching it ;-) Hahaha, it shows your ignorance only calling it Qomolangma, since half of it is Nepalese and according to them it is Sagarmatha ;-)

So if you try to play teacher than do it right.....

[popcatepetl2]

@dev249: In my video description I listed all the different names for Mt. Everest, "called Qomolangma by Tibetans and Sagarmata by the Nepali people."
