New Maldivians on Mountains trailer

Episode 1 of Maldivians on Mountains has aired on TVM and Youth TV, making many people want to go on the famed Everest trek in the Nepal Himalaya.

The trek consists of three main challenges: Kala Pattar (5,600m) the highest point to climb; Cho La Pass (5,368m), a difficult, slippery mountain pass; and Gokyo Ri (5,463m) above the beautiful Gokyo lake.

In the image, Freddy and Narcu are halfway up Kala Pattar, roughly at around the location where the Nepali cabinet held a meeting to draw the world's attention to the issue of glacial melting. Mount Everest, the black mountain peeping in the background, reveals itself in the background as you climb Kala Pattar.

Not everyone is able to complete all three challenges, as Maldivians on Mountains shows.
