The government is preparing to hold a cabinet meeting at the base camp of Mount Everest next month in order to draw attention of the world towards the impact of climate change, a cabinet minister said.

According to forest minister Deepak Bohara, the cabinet members will be flown to Everest Base Camp by a helicopter. The agenda of the meeting will also be issues of climate change.

The objective of the meeting at Everest Base Camp is to draw world’s attention towards the impact of climate change in the Himalayas, minister Bohara said. We will discuss various ways to mitigate the impact of climate change using our resources.

The meeting at EBC will be organised before the conference on Climate Change in the Himalayas at Copenhagen to be organised on the occasion of International Mountain Day on December 11. 

Last week Maldives’ cabinet had met underwater for a similar cause. nepalnews.com

December is one of the coldest month in Khumbu. Dont be surprise if one of the
cabinet minister die of alude sickness.

I hope they will not spend taxpayers
money on Helicopter which cost $15000 per hour.

This type of stunts may grab attention of public for a moment, but don't be like
a jokers. Playing Monkeys while country's politicians have failed to do anything
on their own to solve basic domestic problems is just like street side show of
acrobatics, just to beg some more money to put in politician's pocket. Madhav
Nepal should be more serious to prioritise nepal's problems and seek cooperation
from all to solve them, rather than take a blind eyes on grave problems withing
country and just romancing by flights, more expensive dramas and just sticking
to the seat to further misuse already constrained national resources.

This is what exactly what they asked Tenzing and Hillary? What's the purpose of
climbing the mountain? Don;t you have anything better to do? Same thing can be
asked of Apa. Why you idiot keep climbing that rock? I am glad they did not
listen to those buffoons.

Bush never wanted to talk about climate change. He
still does not. So should we just keep quite and let the climate catastrophe
doom everyone? What a bunch of morons, always thinking about negative things...
Narrow vision. Let Nepal at least have a news around the world that does not
involve murder, politics, stinking garbage, and mayhem.. Don't listen to these
naysayers... Go Apa Go!

protest and all, these idiots want to hold a meeting at the base camp. Is this
the time to think about climate change ? Idiots.

accident, mo-bike accident, then bus accident again....
