DAY 5525

Jalsa, Mumbai                  Apr 2,  2023                Sun 11:49 PM

Birthday Ef 

🪔 .. April 03 .. birthday wishes to Ef Haarsha Balraj from South Africa .. Ef Krishna urf Kris Dwivedi from Bilaspur CG .. and Ef Divyansh Rawat from Lucknow .. love and happiness .. ❤️❤️❤️🌿 and all the good wishes from the family Ef .. and the Sunday meetings at the Gate be in preference of course .. hence here 

And the very revealing aspect for the coming day be that on April 3, for the first time an adventure took place .. the first plane to fly over the Everest  .. in the year 1934 , apparently ..

Justification :

📌 .. and on this day .. April 3, 1933 .. conquering the impossible .. happened the first fly ever over Everest 🏔️ .. by two British aircraft  of type Westland Wallace bi-planes .. crewed by Squadron Leader Douglas-Hamilton and Colonel LVS Blacker in one and Flight Lieutenant MacIntyre and Mr SR Bonnet in the other .. they took off from Lalbalu aerodrome, near Purnea, India .. the flight lasted for around three hours, covered a return distance of 320 miles reaching nearly 30,000 feet clearing the mountain by a reported 100 feet .. close range photographs of Mt Everest proved the achievement which previously was not possible to any airplane .. 

further justification  -

the peak , the highest point on Earth .. the mountain , the Himalayas and the feat that seems to this generation to be no big deal, because they are unaware of the conditions and circumstances that prevailed then ..

Everest .. named by the British when they ruled over India ..

In the nineteenth century, the mountain was named after George Everest, a former Surveyor General of India. The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means “Mother Goddess of the World.” The Nepali name is Sagarmatha, which has various meanings.

Sagarmatha .. ‘sagar’ , the Ocean .. ‘matha’ churning .. and the Indian mythology that the Oceans were churned by the mountain to produce the ‘amrit’ ..

my interpretation .. though the knowledge from the records says this :

Sagarmatha is a Sanskrit word, from sagar = "sky" (not to be confused with "sea/ocean") and matha = "forehead" or "head", and is the modern Nepali name for Mount Everest.

the Goddess of the Sky .. in Tibet it is addressed as 

Therefore, the historic, local Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Chomolungma, also spelled Qomolangma, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World." Chomolungma is pronounced "CHOH-moh-LUHNG-m?." The Nepali name for Mount Everest is Sagarmatha, meaning "Godess of the Sky." Some refer to the entire massif of peaks as ...

and the many adventure stories on the Sagarmatha prevail .. 

And the great thrill at the time of a shooting in Nepal, when I went on a plane that flew us right next to the Everest and the experience almost unreal ..

Such be the moments of remembrance ..

It was a touristy matter and many such flights I do believe operate from Kathmandu, Nepal for the pleasure of tourists .. even now .. 

Its majesty has never reduced despite the conquering of it by several now ..  and the very sight of which evokes so much wonder .. the wonder of the Gods .. the makers that introduced us to us all .. and the reason of its formation .. that the entire subcontinent now known as India was a part of the continent of Africa, at Egypt .. and many millions of years ago the entire subcontinent broke away from the mother board and shifted travelled over the Indian Ocean, to the Eastern sub continent and attached itself there .. the impact of the joining of the land mass being so great , it formed the realm, now known as the Himalayas  !!

I do not have authenticity on this , but it does seem to be believed , historically and geographically .

and the day in recuperation and the meeting at the Gate , of the ever present well wisher ..

Amitabh Bachchan

and the signature above out of place , because the icon that opens the Desktop to search the sign is JUST not appearing ..  

and this has been on several times before too ..

this model of the updated Mac, the Ventura is absurd and has created many problems .. 

deliberately done to attract more when the changed model is brought out ?? marketing and manufacturing often does that  .. the deliberation to access the mode of investing in the latest and doing away with the present ..

The Everest Base Camp Trek is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rugged trails, and breathtaking views. As you make your way through picturesque villages, dense forests, and towering mountains, you'll be captivated by the raw beauty that surrounds you. And reaching Everest Base Camp itself is an achievement that few can boast of.

It is a 12-day adventure round trip from Kathmandu to Kathmandu, but you can also complete this in 9 days. For the shorter trip, you must fly out from Gorak Shep on a helicopter, which is the Helicopter Return Everest Base Camp Trek.

But if trekking isn't your cup of tea or if you're short on time, fear not! The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a thrilling alternative that allows you to soar above the majestic peaks and land at Everest Base Camp itself. From up above, you'll witness panoramic vistas that will leave you speechless.

Whether you choose to trek or take a helicopter tour, visiting Kala Patthar is an absolute must. Situated at an elevation of 5,545 meters (18,192 feet), this vantage point offers unparalleled views of Mount Everest and its neighbouring peaks.

Looking for more Adventure than Everest Base Camp?

If you want to make it more adventurous and have extra 2-3 more days with the Everest Base Camp Itinerary, you can go to Cho La Pass to visit the Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri at the same time. The Cho La Pass (5360m) connects these two different trekking routes Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Treks.

For this Adventure trip, you trek to Zongla after the Base Camp and Kala Patthar and cross a big hill to go to the other side. Gokyo Ri offers even better views than the Kala Patthar and you also cross the biggest glacier Ngozumpa before reaching Gokyo. So, you definitely will have extra experience from the Khumbu Region by doing this trek.

If you are a regular trekker and have visited the higher altitudes often, you might be looking for the most adventurous trekking trail in the Everest Region. The Everest Three Passes Trekking is the one, which is a perfect trip for you.

You cross three big hills Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La during this three high passes trek in Khumbu, Nepal. You can do it clockwise and anti-clockwise route, but the counter-clockwise route is more comfortable compared to the other one.
