Chapter 385 Walk around!

It is well known that you need to hire a guide to climb Mount Everest.

The best guide to climb Mount Everest is undoubtedly the Sherpas who live around Mount Everest.

This group of people has only about 40,000, and is recognized as the best guide to climb Mount Everest in the world.

The Sherpas are also the group with the largest number of people who successfully climbed Mount Everest, the largest number of people who climbed the top without anaerobicity, and the largest number of people who died in Mount Everest.

During the first time in the world to climb Mount Everest, the Sherpas were the guide!

And the Pembodorgi, who took only eight hours and ten minutes to reach Mount Everest from the 5,400-4 South Slope Base Camp, created the shortest time to reach Mount Everest in the world, was also a Sherpa.

You should know that even the most professional mountaineer will take at least four days to complete the same route and successfully reach the top.

The hardworking but poor Sherpas used their lives as bets again and again, leading one mountaineering team after another to climb Mount Everest.

Especially after the commercial climbing of Mount Everest appeared, every year after the window to climb Mount Everest came, the largest mountaineering team convened teams from various countries as the "leader" to pay and produce goods, and asked the Sherpas to go up the mountain to build the "road".

Many people may be puzzled by the safety ropes that appear on the way when watching movies or videos about climbing Mount Everest. Where did these safety ropes come from?

In fact, these safety ropes were set up by the Sherpas without any equipment at risk. After the main peak climbing season arrives every year, these Sherpas will set up safety ropes that are seven to eight kilometers long on the climbing route.

They carry the ropes with them to climb to a high place, and fix the end of the rope with an ice cone into the thousand-year-old rock ice. The hanging rope can serve as logistics transportation, guide roads, assist climbing and to a certain extent to ensure the safety of the team members.

In fact, the role played by these Sherpas is like the logistics team that rushed to the forefront in the movie "Climber".

In addition to doing these preliminary preparations, the Sherpas are also the best guide for the mountaineering team.

Of course, the cost of hiring Sherpas is also very high.

Hiring a Sherpa as a mountaineering guide or doing preliminary preparations is currently around 10,000 US dollars per person.

Is this expensive? Of course it is expensive! But you will definitely get this money.

Don’t forget that the Sherpas use their lives as bets to serve you. And it is precisely because of these Sherpas as guides, pioneers, and build "roads" for various mountaineering teams in advance that those mountaineering teams can climb Mount Everest more easily and safely.

Otherwise, if the difficulties encountered by Fang Wuzhou and the other three of them in the movie "Climber" were filmed in the first and second time in the movie "Climber", this commercial climb of Mount Everest would not be carried out.

It is no exaggeration to say that professional guides are the strongest guarantee of the lives of those climbers when climbing extremely high altitude peaks!

Similarly, when you walk the Bilang Corridor and cross the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, you also need to have local Tibetans to take action first to open up a safe enough road, and you also need professional guides to protect you.

The cost of hiring a guide on the Bilang Corridor is only 10,000 yuan, and the money is shared by tourists in the team.

According to the regulations established by Liu Mo'ang, each team walking on the Bilang Corridor cannot exceed ten people, and two professional local Tibetans are guided. In other words, if ten tourists go to the Bilang Corridor, they will need to pay a total of 20,000 yuan for guide fees. If ten people share the same, one person will only need to pay 2,000 yuan.

This price is about the same as the price of a mountain hiring guide climbing an altitude of about 6,000.

Five adult men living in the two households of Raomiguo will take turns to serve as guides in the Bilang Corridor in the future.

If this line can become popular, it is only used as a guide's income, each of these two households can earn at least 300,000 or more per year.

After leaving the base camp, it was already dawn. Six people, four yaks and two guides who plucked milk fruits began to climb up along Bilangqu.

These two guides are the heads of the two Tibetan families of Rao Miguo, both men who are nearly fifty years old.

Although they are nearly fifty years old, their physical fitness is really nothing to say. After all, they have to take their own cattle and sheep from this route to transfer from Nianqing Tanggula Mountain.

Starting from the base camp of the Bilang Corridor, you can walk up the Bilang Qu all the way up. The slope is not large. At first, you can see lush meadows on the hillsides on both sides of the river valley, but as the altitude exceeds five thousand meters, even these cold-resistant meadows gradually become sparse.

When the altitude exceeds 5,000 altitude, all the gravel is visible, but occasionally you can see a small bunch of long and extremely short grass.

After a simple lunch on the way, they continued to walk upwards. At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the group finally arrived at the second camp.

The camp is set up in a relatively spacious valley with an altitude of 5,300 altitude. On both sides of the valley are snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 5,800 or even 6,000.

"This is one of the safest places on this road. Brother Sanjie and I discussed it before putting the first camp here. Then we spent more than a month pulling some logs with yaks and building two wooden houses here. These two wooden houses can not only be used for rest, but also for storing emergency supplies." Zhasi Dawa signaled to a guide, who opened the doors of the two wooden houses with the keys he carried with him.

The wooden houses are not large in size, only about ten square meters, but the two wooden houses are enough to allow a team of twelve people, including two guides, to rest. Even if they encounter any unpredictable accidents, these two wooden houses are enough to ensure the safety of tourists.

The distance from the base camp is about fifteen kilometers, which is basically half of the Bilang Corridor. Their group set off from the base camp at 8 o'clock in the morning and took about an hour to have lunch. In other words, it takes about eight hours to hike from the base camp to get to the camp.

"Boss, according to my ideas from the brothers Tashi, if tourists come here, they can rest here and stay for one night. Although the conditions are simple, they are much better than staying in a tent. Tourists can make fires and cook here, and then take a good rest for one night. The next morning, they will directly "attack the top" from here. There is still about five kilometers from here to Bilangcuo. It takes about two kilometers to cross Bilangcuo. If it goes well, tourists can climb Bilangcuo within six hours and enter the downhill section. We have built two such wooden houses on the downhill road north of Bilangcuo. At that time, tourists can replenish and rest there. At night, they can go down to the bottom of the mountain to complete this hiking and climbing trip." Sanje Gongbu said.

Chu Qian pushed the wall of the wooden house hard, and did not move at all. "This house is well built. With these two wooden houses, tourists are indeed much safer. Mo Ang, this house is much better than the tent hotels at Mount Everest Base Camp."

Liu Mo'ang smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, these are all made of large logs. It cost me more than 200,000 yuan to build these houses! Just one million yuan."

Chu Qian nodded and said, "This money is worth it. Let's stay here for one night tonight and experience the accommodation conditions here in advance."

"It's not okay if you don't stay here. It's already this point, and it's a bit dangerous to climb up. By the way, do you feel uncomfortable when you climb here?"

"No, except for being a little tired, there is no other feeling, and it is no different from being in the inn." Chu Qian said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's set up a camp here tonight. Brother Dawa, let's have some delicious food tonight, let's have a few drinks."

A bunch of men responded loudly.

Zhaxi Dawa and his friends unloaded the supplies carried by the four yaks and replaced the supplies they had stored before. The supplies replaced were the ingredients and fuel for tonight.

This height is nothing to yaks. Each yak can easily carry dozens of kilograms of supplies to reach this height.

Most of the supplies carried by yaks are mainly vacuum food that can be preserved for a long time, as well as fuel. This ensures that tourists spend a more comfortable night in this camp.

Liu Mo'ang and his team lived well in this camp, eating and drinking without worries, and having a good sleep.

The next morning, they changed into professional mountaineering suits. After all, if they want to cross the Bilangcuo, who is 58000000 above sea level today, they can no longer wear those ordinary mountaineering suits.

The four yaks brought some extra garbage from their food and accommodation last night, and these domestic garbage will be transported to the other end of the mountain to deal with it in a centralized manner.

They started from the camp at 6 o'clock in the morning and headed towards the best Bilangcuo. After the altitude exceeds 5,600 altitude, glaciers began to appear around them. These glaciers were not permanent glaciers, and there would be permanent glaciers to the Bilangcuo side.

At around 11:00 noon, everyone arrived at Bilangcuo.

Bilangcuo is an oval lake with an area of ​​only about two acres. However, this lake is frozen for at least ten months a year. Both Bilangcuo originate from several glaciers near Bilangcuo. Standing here, you can clearly see Namcuo in the northeast, and Nianqing Tanggula Peak, which is only eight kilometers away to the east, looks particularly majestic in this location!

The road here is much harder to walk than the road below, and steel pipe guardrails are also installed in some more dangerous places.

After carefully walking through Bilangcuo, he began to enter the downhill section. After walking down for more than an hour, he arrived at the third camp on this route. During this period, Liu Mo'ang tried several radio communications, and the results were very good, which made Boss Liu feel much more at ease.

The camp is located in an altitude of about 5,400 meters and has only one wooden house with a slightly larger area. Because tourists only have a short rest and eat after arriving here, they may change clothes in summer and do not need to spend the night here, so there is only one wooden house here.

In fact, walking here is basically a journey of crossing the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. There is still about 12 or 3 kilometers of downhill road behind it, and it only takes three or four hours to walk.

After arriving at the final Binna Village, there will be prepared minibuses there to pull tourists back through Nagenla Pass.

Of course, there is no charge for this, you just need to make up for the ticket when you leave the scenic area gate. This is also discussed with the county.

After all, they did not enter the Namtuo Scenic Area through the main entrance of the scenic area. They entered the Namtuo Scenic Area by "through the back door", so when they came out, everyone needed to pay the ticket fee. The scenic area tickets were naturally included in the fees paid by tourists.

This is a complete route to climbing the mountain in the Bilang Corridor.
