Nepali adventurers bag awards

The National Geographic Society has named two Nepalis in its Adventurers of the Year awards, for travelling from the top of Everest to the Bay of Bengal.Sano Babu Sunuwar (28) and Lakpa Tsheri Sherpa (37) won the People's Choice category for their trip, dubbed the Ultimate Descent Summit to Sea, thanks to 72,000 votes by members of the public.
The duo climbed Mt Everest in April, and paraglided down to the basecamp.Then they bicycled to the nearest river and kayaked across the Nepali border into India and paddled the Ganges River all the way to the Indian Ocean.With no corporate support or media backing, and a limited budget, the pair borrowed gear for the trip, and said they were robbed by villagers, lived on berries at one time and often slept in their kayaks.

It's truly very complicated in this active life to listen news on TV, so I just use internet for that purpose, and obtain the most up-to-date news. raspberry ketones - raspberry ketones 500 mg pure - Raspberry Ketones 100 pure usa ketone powder
