Benefits of Adventure Travels
Sunday, April 04th, 2010 / admin

People travel for many reasons. They journey to see family, they go away for business reasons and they especially travel away for vacations. Going on vacation is usually the most popular reason for leaving home for an extended time and going some distance from where you live.

With all ventures ‘far and wide’ you encounter many different experiences. Many countries you travel to are varied in people, culture, languages and currency. You learn and benefit from so many adventures. Each travelling venture can be unique and life changing.

People who travel extensively have a broader, wider mind and vision, based on all the accumulated experiences they have. Unless you travel, you will never see or experience the wonders of the world. You need to travel to see with your own eyes the ‘ancient civilisations’, the magnificent historical and archaeological sites, the enchanting natural landscapes, and the fascinating explosions of colour in mountains, valleys and deserts.

Introduction of Himalaya Mountains
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 / admin

Located on the border of Nepal and Tibet is Mount Everest, or to the Tibetans, Mt Chomolangma – meaning Goddess Mother of the World. It is the world’s highest mountain, and it is the crown jewel of this wondrous mountain range.

The first published height was in 1856 at 8840 meters (29,000 ft) by the Great Trigonometrical Survey, and was so known as Peak XV. In 1865 the Surveyor General of India, Andrew Waugh, proposed to name the peak after the head of the Great Trigonometrical Survey, Sir George Everest.

In Tibetan scripture, the mountain is named Chomolangma, and the Goddess who lives there is a Tibetan Deity called Miyo Langsangma.

In the early 1950′s, Sir Edmund Hillary and his teammates climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest with heavy oxygen tanks strapped to their backs. At that time, Sir Hillary estimated the height of the majestic peak at 29,000 feet.
