maybe you've heard the story of an adventurous homeland: Bambang Hertadi Mas (Paimo), who climbed the mountain with a bike or bring the world's top adventure expeditions, Reinhold Mesner who climbed Mount Everest without using oxygen cylinders. Both are examples of the many crazy ideas in an adventure that makes some people think what they did seemed highly improbable. After all the evidence they were able to prove that human potential is extraordinary.

No exception action follows two pilots who have done paragliding from the top of Everest. Wow, not crazy! and their achievements in the end solve the world record of height in paragliding.

They are the origin Sanuwar Rai Babu Chiri Nepal and Lakpa, a Sherpa who has climbed Everest several times the peak. The two met while climbing the first time together at K2 in 2006. After that, their friendship continues with a couple of times on an expedition across the Himalayas with others.

They departed from the Top of Mt. Everest last Monday, on May 21, 2011, in tandem flight and broke the World Record of Altitude in Paragliding.

Babu Rai Sanuwar background which is a national champion kayaker as well as an expert in paragliding sparked the initial idea was to fly from the summit of Everest tendem. This project they did for 2 months, with little financial support from donors. So would not want this crazy expedition most of the funds simply use their own savings.



In May 2011, their expedition in the beginning, by doing a first ascent up to the summit of Everest. After reaching the summit of Everest, both require an hour to determine the point of landing.

Flight was started through the north side of Everest. Then bring them back across the West Ridge of Everest and into the basin. From there they turned into the Southwest; across a large wing Nupste 7861 m, well above 7000 m. They keep the air in a straight line, crossing over the top Polkade 5806 m. From there they took flight through the Ama Dablam to finally landed on the runway Syangboche.

After that, continue their adventures: hiking, biking and kayaking along the river-duo in the category of class 5 to a bay in the Bengal region of India and Bangladesh. Until finally arriving at the sea.
