The Himalaya is the greatest mountain system in the
world. It stretches 2400 km from east to west between
Nanga Parbat and Namcha Barwa peaks. Most find such an
immense range of mountains hard to envisage because the
scale is beyond one's experience.
Cradled among the mountains in the central Himalaya with
profusion of high peaks lies the Nepal. Of the fourteen
peaks in the world that exceed 8,000 meters no fewer
than eight of them are in Nepal, including Mt. Everest
the highest in the world.
The mystery of the unknown, sheer beauty of majestic
peaks and above all, an urge to experience the challenge
of climbing world's highest mountains have attracted
thousands of climbers to the Himalayan slopes.
The first tentative steps towards Himalayan climbing
were taken in 1920's, and several expedition teams were
able to make important exploration and significant
progress in climbing Mt. Everest, Nanga Parbat, K2, and
Kanchenjunga. However, it was only after the opening of
the Nepal Himalaya, followed by the successful ascents
of the first peak over 8000m - Annapurna I by Maurice
Herzog and Luis Lachenal in 1950 and Mt. Everest in 1953
by Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and New Zealander Edmund
Hillary, the mountaineering activities in the Himalaya
started to gain wider popularity.
The current work of the IMM project involves phase one
of the project. Works in this phase includes the
construction and completion of the main Museum Hall
building which will house the halls for exhibit display,
audio visual hall and conservation room for exhibits.
The Museum Hall building covers a total floor
area of 4242 sq. meters of the total 12.5 acres of the
land owned by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA)
for the IMM Project.
There will be two main exhibition halls, Hall of the
Great Himalaya and Hall of World Mountains. These Halls
will have models of famous peaks, mannequins of famous
climbers, equipment and material used in mountaineering,
culture and life style of mountain peoples, flora and
fauna including geologicy.
