The Everest Region, located in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal, is
one of the highest places in the world that man can climb. It
remains one of the few places that man cannot dominate, but can
triumph. To live in harmony with mother nature, he has learned to
adapt to the extreme conditions of life in the Himalayas.

"Working Nepalese" explores man’s desire and innate curiosity to
push beyond the realms of his physical boundaries and do what it
takes to live, work and survive. This region is home to Mount
Everest located at an elevation of 8,848 meters; the highest in the
world.
