In 2018, we Imagine Nepal Team helped Mr Xia Bo Yu reach the summit of Mt Everest. He first tried Mt Everest in 1975 when my parents were not even married. He got frostbite which later turned into serious disease and he had to cut both his legs from below the knee. I first saw him in 2014 at Everest base camp during his second attempt and then again in 2016 where he managed to reach almost 8700m. In 2016 I was in China to attend a Mountaineering talk show and we shared a stage in a program at Beijing. By then he had already tried Everest 3 times but no success. In 2018 I was studying in China and at that time, Nepal had banned disabled climbers from climbing Everest. He approached several travel agencies in Nepal but no one could arrange his Everest climbing permit. A Chinese Friend of mine recommended myself to Mr Xia and his filming team approached me after a few days. I had just started Imagine Nepal in 2017 September so I didn’t have anything to show what Imagine Nepal did previously except the First Nanga Parbat Successful summit in Autumn Season. In the beginning of the meeting, they were so interested to get my ideas on getting the permit but they didn’t believe I could help him arrange the permit because they had already reached the biggest travel agencies in Nepal and my company was completely new. I just asked them for a month of time and two days after I returned back to Nepal. I started meeting with government officials and friends but it was not possible. A friend of mine suggested a way where our constitution clearly clarifies equal rights. We legally went against the government's new rules relaying on EQUAL Rights and right after two weeks, his permit was accepted by the Nepal government. On his 4th attempt, Mr Xia successfully climbed to the top of Mt Everest on 14th May 2018 with team with lead guide Dawa Gyalje Sherpa and Kili Pemba Sherpa. The documentary featuring Mr Xia's Everest Expedition 2018 is now running successfully in cinema halls in China. The audiences getting out of the cinema hall in tears means this is a long run show and a successful story of a 70 years old man's 43 years dream of climbing Everest. We made his dream come true in our first try.
We will be organizing the Everest Expedition in 2022 with Imagine Nepal team and you can book it now if you have plans. booking open
