    Namaskar! I am the Belgian climber (after 49' 45") who stayed with Major Ranveer's Indian Army Team at EBC after the quke, to help...
    Read my article "Cleaning instead of Climbing" in the Nepali Times!
    It was a fantastic experience with the Indian Army team under the command of Major Ranveer. Extremely friendly, honest, helpful, disciplined, dedicated and strong mountaineers who, I am sure, are also great soldiers! I would fight with them, on their side ;-)) or climb with them any time!

      He probably had friends and work mates who were up the mountain, not to mention all of his friends and family who live near by. A major disaster just happened in his backyard and he may have had good reason to think people close to him had just died, it's pretty normal to be upset.
      The Indians aren't upset because they didn't get injured and all their friends and family are completely safe back in India.
      You can think the Indians showed some sort of special courage and puff out your chest in pride all you want, the realty is they didn't just suffer a tragedy, the avoided one.
      But yes, clap clap, you Indians are the bravest most awesome people in the whole world lol.

You have no idea what any indian army troop or commando goes through in combat situations in places like Siachin Glacier -40 degree temperatures and there you have to stand strong to combat not the weather but the other armies. No wonder our country hasn't given in to chinese at those mountain terrains. All thanks to our armies. You can be jealous or whatever but the truth is they face death constantly in their line of job unlike you commenting from your home opinion about an army based on one incident where they indeed performed outstandingly. And as long as friends and families yes nobody is claiming that sherpa was expected to not cry however you can't just ignore that the army men were legit calm and they lose their comrades every now and then on the border lines penetrating terrorist hideouts doesn't mean they start crying. They know what they're doing.

      If ever I’ve come near to feeling fright, it was watching this documentary when tragedy struck base camp. What an amazing group of positive and humble men the Indian Army are. To stay and fulfil a different mission after such tragedy hit is proof that they truly are... not only Army but men of substance. The comradeship is commendable.
      The cinematography was amazing and not gone unnoticed by far, shedding light into what you sometimes see and what sometimes the photographer captures can be two different things.
      Good luck Indian Army for next .. your summit!

He had our 20 X 30-foot sunroom mopped and those big plastic tables set up, it was designated the clean room. Everything that could be saved was cleaned off and placed in that room. Dozens of plastic tubs with lids were brought in. He had made lists of what we needed brought in, it made our lives so much easier from that point His training just kicked in automatically.

    This is an extremely good video which had to be released earlier.

    Its amazing, I'm so grateful that the Indian Army were there and that they filmed this too because there was an image of a tall fair haired man, my younger brother a mountain climber.
    I saw this image on the BBC news and knew my brother was alive, until the images were sent around the globe we didn't know much, and your camera crew's footage sent out word of the survivors to the worried fretting families all over the world. There had been talk of satellite calls and other things but to be able to see the face of your brother on film confirmed it.
    We had been waiting for days and then found out he survived this terrible situation and still loves the mountain. We were all so worried about all of the summiteers and the conditions especially when the news came to us about the terrible earthquake in Nepal.
    The earthquake took so many lives and caused so much devastation to Nepal, I wasn't there but will never forget it.
    We couldn't get any information and I recall being wrung out for days because so many people died in Nepal and on the mountain and many were injured, the embassy's couldn't cope with enquiries at the time but each and everyone I contacted over the three quiet news days, came back to me to find out if he had survived when they began to move down the mountain.
    Many thanks to the Indian Army and all those who helped the injured and dying and those who cleaned up the mountain after all of the supplies were flung far and wide (not an easy job) You all made this easier for those of us waiting.
