}}Asian Trekking is a commercial adventure company based in Nepal started by Sherpa Ang Tshering.[1] Ang Tshering (b. 1953) was one of the first graduates of Sir Edmund Hillary’s school and then went on to found Asian Trekking in 1982.[2] Asian Trekking is based out of Kathmandu, Nepal.[3] In 2001, it was recorded that Asian Trekking ran 25 large mountain expeditions per year.[4] In particular, they are known for supporting treks to Mount Everest.[1] Asian Trekking made international news when in 2006 four of its clients and two of its Sherpas died in a single season.[6][7][8] One of the clients, David Sharp, died near the summit and this event became the center of an international climbing ethics controversy.[8] Ang said that climbers can die if they use all their energy getting to the summit of Mount Everest, only to be too fatigued for the descent.[1]

Overview

Asian Trekking is known in mountaineering for providing "logistics only" Everest expeditions, which, although cheap, do not offer a lot of extras higher up the mountain.[5] Logistics only, compared to guided or even non-guided climbs, is typically cheaper and gives climbers more freedom, but along with that are fewer safe-guards.[5] Asian Trekking sells unguided Everest expeditions for both the north and south side, but they are oriented towards supplying basic supplies and expedition organization such as hiring a local sherpa.[6]

History

Asian Trekking has organized multiple years of Eco Everest Expeditions, and often provides logistics for many expeditions.[7] Asian Trekking supported the 2001 International Everest Expedition.[8] In 2009 Asian Trekking organized for several expeditions including the just mentioned Eco Everest Expedition 2009, Atumas Taiwanese 7 Summit and Everest Expedition 2009, International Adventure Alternative Everest Expedition 2009, 7 Summit Club Everest Expedition 2009, Kazak Lhotse-Everest Expedition 2009, and Indo Bangladesh Mt. Makalu Expedition.[9] Sadly they lost one person, Lhakpa Nuru who died was supporting the Eco Everest Expedition.[10]

One tragic year was in 2006 when multiple clients died including David Sharp, Vitor Negrete, Thomas Weber, and Igor Plyushkin.[8][11] In addition, two Asian Trekking Sherpas were killed on April 21, 2006 in a serac fall on the south side: Lhakpa Tseri and Dawa Temba.[12]

At the time of his death, David Sharp was found to be in possession of a receipt for US$7,490, believed to be the whole financial cost with Asian Trekking.[13] Comparatively, fully guided expeditions are between thirty and one hundred thousand US$ plus an additional twenty thousand in other expenses that range from gear to bonuses.[14]

The Washington Times notes that Asian Trekking said Sharp did not take enough oxygen, and did not take a Sherpa helper, and was part of "loose group", not a climbing team all of which put him at higher risk.[15] Asian Trekking services are cheap because they essentially end at base camp (unless they hire a guide).[15] However, Brazilian Vitor Negrete, also climbing with Asian Trekking and possibly teaming with Sharp, died days later despite having a Sherpa helper.[15] In Vitor's case he developed medical problems returning from the summit and died in the arms of his Sherpa assistant.[15][16]

Asian Trekking has supported expeditions on the North and South sides of Mount Everest, and also to Lhotse.[17][18] Asian Trekking has supported International Dream Everest and Eco Everest Expedition trips to Mount Everest.[19] Lhakpa Nuru Sherpa was from Phurte, Nepal and is recorded to have died on May 7, 2009 on the south side of Everest.[20]

In the aftermath of 2015 Mount Everest avalanche, Asian Trekking and Himex were reported to help injured people at their camps.[21]
