Kathmandu, May 22: Actor and model Chhiring Sherpa has successfully climbed Sagarmatha (Mt Everest). He reached atop the world’s tallest peak on Sunday and unfurled the first poster of his upcoming movie ‘Tashi Delek’ and also the flags of various organisations on the summit.
Following his ascent of Sagarmatha Sherpa underscored on raising voice in the national and international level for mitigating the impact of climate change in the mountain region. Informing about his climbing success via social media, he stressed on investing some portion of the revenues received from the mountaineers for the development of the mountainous region.
In his message on social media, Chhiring also called for creating an environment where in the Sherpa community can connect itself to every state apparatus, rather than merely taking them as the mountaineers.
He urged the state to keep the geographically remote mountainous region in special priority and make plans for its development. Chiiring also called for putting in place a mechanism wherein the climbers will have instant access to information.
He also underlined on the need of managing the challenges and the problem of ‘too many climbers on Everest’, as well as of making the climbing profession ‘decent’.
