in 2005 for the rotary centennial
celebration love of my life Mulla Mulla
party climbing partner can be sharper
and I were choose to carry Rotary
International’s back up to summit of
Mount Everest and made 30 around 10:40
a.m. with his summit of Mount Everest we
hosted rotary flag and monie and I
remove our oxygen marks in order to
exchange our wedding vows after eight
months of training and preparation we
successfully and secretly eloped and
will be him
we became first couple to be married on
top of Mount Everest so you might think
climbing Everest is most challenging
part of this peak experience but let me
back up and provide you a bit more
detail that journey takes even greater
challenge than climbing Everest
I was grow up as a second children of
six and first son in my family we live
in a small remote village called chamber
which is real remote there is no access
to road there is no electricity drinking
water supplies you name it there’s
pretty much nothing and even we have to
go do some groceries like takes five six
days in and out so from age of five
doing my like a morning village chores
gathering grass like getting a water for
family and then like collecting firewood
babysitting my siblings I commute for
hour each day to and from one lease
pooling area I did that around eight
years and when my grades are going
higher and higher is required more money
for my parents to pay for school so I
kind of feel that they are not able to
afford those money and then one day I
decided to drop out and went to nan Chi
Bazaar with one friend to work without
telling my parents so namja Bazaar is
one of the
to resolve a kind of big climate you
know all the big town for the Nepal is
almost like a Big East guy for Nepal and
well the tourists come there is been a
two days there for acclimatization and
anyone that what from those remote
village will get job any anytime so I
went there and worked for the family who
owns the two guesthouse in two different
town named giant and bougie and in as a
cook or dishwasher or babysitting their
children and they paid me around $12 per
month and this is my first picture when
I was working there it’s a first picture
of my life so I save all their $12 and
send back to my home with people going
to my village to support my parents and
siblings those goes to school there and
then at the age of 17 I decided to move
to capital city of Kathmandu with
several friends it took sus three days
walk from 12 hour bus ride and it was my
first time in a capital city
heavens in bosses or car in my life and
so we don’t have a place to stay in
Kathmandu and we manage to arrange a eat
in at a restaurant a small restaurant so
those of who’ve been to Nepal able to
visualize how a small restaurant looks
like and then we sleep on the rooftop of
the restaurant because they don’t have a
rooms then only allow us to pay when we
have money from work so you get to know
warner little bit so they will kind of
write down your name and you can pay a
little so in Kathmandu I was doing a
like a trekking guide and Porter’s
seasonally for a couple years and then I
took of English language course to learn
English in Kathmandu on age of 20 I got
a opportunity to work at the Everest
base camp as a helper for expedition
group and during that time I see all
these clambers going up to summit of
Mount Everest and I thought oh I’ll be
climber one day but in order to become a
clan verse you need some training
experience
so into end of 2001 I took a basic
climbing course and in 2000 of 2003 I
took at mass mountaineering course this
is where I met moaning it’s now my wife
and then after end of the 2000 well
after I finished my advanced
mountaineering course I got the
opportunity to climb Mount Everest in
2004 so March of 2004 I got a
opportunity to climb Everest with one of
my Sherpa friend from billet so this is
me at the Icefall crossing later I
didn’t have a Facebook that time to post
so and this is myself at a camp for
which is they start death John so all
the Sherpas who are climbing Everest is
not using oxygen till 26,000 feet so
from this level observable use oxygen
but if you are paying 60,000 to go
climbing Everest you can able to use
from the bottom and this is our team
successfully submitted Everest and may
16 2004 and welcome in Kathmandu we all
safely arrived here so after 2004
expedition the rotary Centennial year
celebration is kind of beginning in
Kathmandu and then Rotary Clubs of Nepal
wants to send a Rotary International
flag up to summit of Mount Elbrus in
order to celebrate the 100 Year
celebration so as a clamber and rose-red
members they pick myself Moni and kami
is a climbing team and then during that
time many meetings were held at the
moni’s house for the preparation or
training and then moni’s father is a
long time rotary and so he encouraged
Moni and me and kami to become member so
around that time money and I fell in
love and decided one day we would get
married but in our culture we wouldn’t
allow to get married because in the fact
that I’m a Buddhist and since Hindu and
it’s completely different religion and
we don’t we know that if we can’t able
to convince our parents for our desire
to marry so money and I decided to do
made-up
that since we are going to climb Everest
we will clamp maybe we’ll get married on
top of Everest if we both get together
so we kept this plan secret from family
friends and even our climbing partner
cami because if Mona’s parents found out
they wouldn’t let her go on an
expedition so we kind of separate the
made up plan and after eight months of
preparation and planning our journey
begun to Everest base camp so which is
our tent which is we can expand on 45
days there to climb Everest so I’m gonna
kind of walk through you through the
Icefall this is a one of the Khumbu
Icefall is the most dangerous part of
the climbing in order to cross this area
you have to wake up on three and pass
before the sunlight hit the area this is
another letter and it’s you’re gonna
cross around 20 or 30 of them and those
some of them are like more than 80 feet
tall so this front right here is the
Mount Everest and then we’re walking
toward a camp – and after 45 days of up
and down then we finally submitted
Everest and this is how we exchange our
wedding vows according to the Buddhist
and Hindu tradition had exchange of red
powders and Garland’s and had a few
climbers witness their submitted
together and we exchanged and it was you
know after all that it was official
we got a certificate from the Nepal
government for getting married on top of
Everest and not the news made worldwide
and our wedding Metta World News
so in many ways we become heroes in our
country going you know extra miles
against tradition because that there was
a huge deal in the fall that getting
married between Hindu and Buddhist and
other ethnic groups so our team Moni and
kami and I got an invitation to come to
Chicago and hand over that rotary flag
that we took to sum it up Mount Everest
Ori president in Chicago Condon
Center this in front of maybe 40,000
Rotarian from around the world at
McCormick Paris Convention Center so in
2007 I obtained a be sort of work in
Colorado during that time I Mira
75 74 year old gentleman his name is
Matt Medicine and he’s looking for a
hiking partner to hike on Canal Dubai
trail from New Mexico border to Canadian
border so that was a good opportunity
for me to see you yes so I said okay so
I left I left with him to hike when my
daughter is two days in a hospital for
three months and people is still joking
asking when are those who knows that I
went for hiking this as you guys are
still together
I said yeah so we hiked through five is
dead and from Mexico to Canada and
during that time we kind of forced
through lots of private land and many
miles of wilderness and we even lost so
many times because the trail is not done
yet
they stayed there is still working so
once I done that trips I’ve back to
Colorado at that time I used to live in
Colorado and then I kind of found myself
it so annoying in the recession so I
couldn’t find a job in Colorado so I
moved to Ann Arbor Michigan where my
trekkers friends had their own L it’s
importing goods from Nepal and selling
out from her garage and I went to see
her and then I kind of found out Ann
Arbor is a boulder without mountain so I
I moved I moved there and then we we
brought that garage business to downtown
Ann Arbor now is called Himalayan Bazar
and from there we have a travel agent
agency that we lead a trip to Nepal
twice a year and I go there every spring
and fall to lead a trip and buy some
goods per Bazaar to sell and then I
check in with my parents
and a Nepali culture that
in a tradition that you know the Sun Sun
take care of parents family and siblings
who need a help because they don’t have
a social security or retirement or
anything so their children’s or social
security for them and with help from my
friends and people that I can able to
you know improving quality of life in my
village so we took we lead a lots of
health care camp and dental came to my
village so this they sort of some of the
picture that I can I was able to build a
library with help from the different
organization see school and we brought
electricity and drinking water system
and we got a smokeless stuff so it’s no
more remodel and so it’s more places to
be the one of the important project I
thought because before people are
cooking this way so it seems like one of
the unhealthiest kitchen for family and
it’s a winter as a cold place all the
family will kind of sit around on a DC
smoke and eat there so I would like to
thank all those people who helped to
make this happen and especially sitting
fund and education elevated those are
the nonprofit that got involved and
making this happen so my journey to
become a u.s. citizen is have become
even greater challenge and climbing
Everest as accomplished climbing guide
and then helped from madness and another
friend in new years I was able to get a
green car within a eight month and Moni
and I was awarded u.s. citizen in 2005
so we are proud to be an apology
American but mountain of paperwork and
legal causes self pickets if not bigger
than Mount Everest so you kind of see
there it took me almost three months to
gather all this paper now money and I
live in Ann Arbor Michigan with our two
beautiful daughter Michelle and tell
them and we recently opened up
the Polish Sherpa restaurant which
served in Milan
authentic Himalayan cuisine I feel
blessed to have lived the life that I
live and throughout my journey is
getting Peaks no matter the type has
remained on my patient and thank you and
namaste
