i’ve just found out that the record set by that japanese ol man has been broken by a nepalese chap.
The man who had succesfully completed this attempt is a 77 year nepalese by the name of Min Bahadur Sherchan.
you can view his interview here. He felt the Everest was shorter than him atop the highest mountain. ehhehee…
More information about the historic climbing can be found here:
i will try to put every online news’ addresses that i have found. This is to ensure that we are abreast with the latest happenings in that country and the region surrounding it. I will update this post from time to time.

hi there,
this is a little update on the project. this morning, i have travelled all the way to TTDI to meet Mr Razim Faris, a friend of mine who had already reached the everest base camp. I had breakfast with mr Razim Faris @ santai and he has shared his experience with me.
he showed me the trail to the base camp. basically the journey starts from lukla and ends at … of course, everest base camp lah.
the full journey will cost us between 18 to 20 days. and i think we really really need to commit to this very long leave. its either you accumulate your annual leave from now on or you just got to resign and enjoy the jobless days in the everest…hahahaha.
about the cost, mr razim is offering a travel package. btw, he has his own travel agency 
though. and he is offering a package of rm 5k each for a group of 10 pax. I tried to negotiate and he says he will try to build a package of below rm 5k.
he told me that the flight tix will cost us around 1300 for nepalese airline and 1800 for thai airways. somehow, he said, thai airways is more reliable. if u ride on nepalese air, sometimes they can simply cancel your tix. not sure how this thing can happen, but thats the truth.
after all, like what shuk said last night, we just want to go to the base camp everest and give him the bow and salute he deserves…hahahahha. thats a good one. and i think, this is the picture that we really like to have…
emm..i think that is all the info that i can put up at this point. actually mr razim shares a lot of story. about AMS, about the philipino team and the super knowledgable pinoy doctor that he met. wanna story the whole thing to you guys…but will write it down later.
so guys…please consider the long holiday that you have to take. about the cost, below 5k would be very reasonable aite. till then…chiow.
