In the Autumn 2000 in Nepal had
passed the Lhotse Emergency Ministry of Russia expedition. The main goals of that
expedition were to attempt the unclimbed Lhotse Middle summit and training the
professional rescue service.
We thank Vyacheslav Kozlov, the member of the expedition, Sakhalin's representative, for
an unique opportunity to see the photos, made during the Lhotse Emergency Ministry of
Russia expedition at Nepal. |

Kingdom of Nepal, constitutional monarchy in South
Asia. Locked within the rugged ranges of the Himalayas, Nepal is bounded by the Tibet
region of China on the north and India on the south, east, and west.
Kathmandu is the capital and largest city. |
| Eight of the ten highest mountains in the world are
located either wholly or partially in this area, including Mount Everest (8,850 m/29,035
ft). |
While the majority of Nepali people practice
Hinduism, the official religion, a strong shamanist element remains in the religious
practices of many Tibeto-Nepalese ethnic groups. Buddhism is also important within the
country. Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born in Lumbini, in present-day Nepal.
