Whenever I meet a new people from different country they ask me the same question. Have you climbed the mountain? I feel so embrassed myself coz the answer is NO. I feel that I neglected those mounatins while i was there but now i feel i should have climbed. It's like Najik to tirtha Hela.So guys have u been ever asked the above question????

Same here bro. Shame on us he he.
I feel more disappointed when we have to drive hundreds of kilometers to see little bumps. They are comparable to our Soyambhu height. Here people wow seeing these bumps and several foot-high rocks in this country. I now realized how precious are our mountains back home. Why don't you plan to climb in next visit to Nepal? Promise now. I am thinking about it.

Khane mukh lai jungale chhekdaina bhanchhan but hamilai nikai bahana auchhan. Tadha cha re, chiso huncha re, suninchha re, height lagcha re, maobadi le lutcha re, etc etc. Asai asma jindagi las banne hola.

yea, bro, Many people asked me that question. Luckily, I have been up to Makalu Base camp, so i tell them that i've not reach the top of Mt'Everest, but i've hiked up few smaller ones.
One day one person asked me
What is your favorite Hindu God? and he was looking at me in a funny way.
My reply was that I do believe in god (one god) but i don't believe in organized religion, (which is True) and every religion in this world except Hinduism, and Buddhism, Tells you that if you don't believe in their religion you are going to hell.

amm well thats why you hell yes I have...8 out of 10 top mountains in the world is in my country and I have climbed every single one of them...good conversation right there keeps people excited especially if its girls haha I dont see any harm in it...if they are ignorant enough as a stupid question like that the hell with it...

peace

Come on Guys thats not a shame....people of Nepal climbed Mount Everest ,this doesn't mean all have climbed.....tell them we used to hang around the base of Mount Everest and were too lazy to climb it......and u also could ask them,ur country has NASA ,have u been to space yet?Lets c how they response?

I tell them yeah, I've climbed Mt. Everest many time...Then I ask them, have you climbed Mt. Whitney?  They say no and I look at them in disbelief and say shit like, "damn, that not good."  Then to insult them further, I ask, "Do YOU even know where it is?"  hahaha

FYI, Mt. Whitney is the highest peak in the US.

i get that question too ..

i always say that "10 mins drive 5 mins walk to the TOP of Mt. Everest.. I go there every weekend"

and we have ice shower when we go to bathromm to shower..

haha.. try this.

Now on if someone asks me the answer will be YES!!!

waiyat, Definitely thats the way to go man...Also, it depends on your physique.  If you're overweight and panting for breath after every 10 steps then saying yes is surely not a viable option.  LOL  They'll look stupid for asking you that question.  hahaha

Samsara m not that stupid common anyways thanks for ur comments and ur comment are always welcome.U make sajha alive!!Thumps up

can we not be just plain honest? what's shameful if you haven't climbed any mountains? i have found many whites, at least where i live (in south), who haven't been to NYC or other major cities all their life. some have spent their whole life serving for a single company in the same city where they were born and brought up and they are not shameful about it...

happens...what's the big deal? reminds me of some of my friends in india who used to regard me as "royal' just because my country had monarchy...hahaha

Well I answer them same as walkahead.

I tell them, Ofcourse, i used to go jugging to the top and back again every morning and evening.

Even in Malaysia, once people know that I make arrangements for tours and trekking in Nepal, the next obvious question is "Have you been to Everest?" And my answer is "With every trip, I'm working myself meter by meter to scale Sagarmatha. My first trip was to Mt, Kailash, Tibet (5585m). Second trip was a 9-days trekking around the KTM valley. Third trip was to Gosaind Kund Tal (4609m). Fourth trip scheduled for 2008 is Annapurna Circuit Trek. Words become insignificant when compared to the majestic mountains of Nepal. Once is never enough!

gosh just because you've lived in this country doesn't mean you've been to every damn place in there, its not like if you were living in the mt.everest area, thatd be a different story. im in the western part of canada and no one here has been to niagara falls or cn tower, that doesnt make them feel any dumb or embarassed, chill.

My answer would be YES, always. Because, I have attempted to climb up to the level of 6000 ft. Also did 2-3 trekkings while doing field research in Nepal. So, there is no question to be shame on answering. I have been asked in almost every occasion when there is meeting with professors, native americans and parties with such people. I feel proud when saying YES to them. 

I guess everyone gets that question.. and I tell them I havent done it. I am not a mountain climber.. no shame in that!

I thought Mount Denali in Alaska was the highest peak in the US.

nepal ma snow ta dekheko thiyena keko mt everest chaddnu bhanera bhandinchu ma ta . jhut bolnu bhanda satya nai ramro ni . ki kaso?
