also informed the gathering about the Mt. Cho-Oyo Golden Jubilee Celebration
in Nepal from October 17-19 this year and invited to all interested to Nepal
to be a part of it.
Interestingly, the Mt. Everest Summiteers also recalled their exciting
experiences while making to the top of Mount Everest.
On the occasion, a special fifteen minute power point presentation was shown
which highlighted the major activities taken place during Mt. Everest Golden
Jubilee Celebration in Kathmandu in May last year.
On the same occasion, Mr. Wolfgang Nairz, a famous Austrian Mountaineer made a
power point presentation on his team’s ascent to the top of Mt. Cho-Oyo in
October 1954. Mr. Nairz is the first Austrian Mountaineer to scale Mt. Everest

a coordinator from Austrian side for Mt. Cho-Oyo Golden Jubilee Celebration.
Famous mountaineer and the first person to climb all eight thousand meters
high peaks Mr. Reinhold Messner who was the guest speaker in the program said,
“In difficult times, Nepal should not be forgotten. While Nepal is facing the
most difficult times in its history, Nepalese Mountains should not be avoided
and should be explored more while preserving the wilderness and graciousness
of them. The Nepalese Mountain tourism holds a great potential and we should
always respect the essence of it." Indicating the commercialization in the
mountaineering in Nepal, he said, “We should not try to change the Nepalese
Mountains rather the Mountains should change us.”
