Usually, mountaineering expeditions involve local guides called Sherpas. They go with the trekkers or mountaineers to various peaks and mountains in Nepal and in other countries as well, for example, in India and Pakistan. Now, for example, in Mount Everest region, from the base camp, they take one or two Sherpas, various teams. They go all the way up to the peak.

Now, these Sherpas carry a lot of weight, the luggage, as well as oxygen cylinders, the basic essentials. And sometimes when you get into trouble, you have to come all the way down. It takes hours, for example, from the base camp to camp one, it can take six to seven hours to reach. Now, what do these drones do? They have been piloting this program for the last one year.

I've seen these videos as well. So it allows them to take some of the very key luggage like ladders, food or other equipment very quickly to camp one. So in 15 minutes time, they can take these equipment to camp one instead of six hours. Suppose if someone is seriously injured or or he needs some medication, or he needs some additional oxygen cylinder. So these drones make it easier.

This will be very useful for Sherpas who are called as icefall doctors because I met one of them at the base camp a couple of years ago. I met the whole team.

So what these people do is before a season starts, for example, this spring season will start from next month, these icefall doctors, these Sherpas go, they put all the rope, the chains, they tie them to the ground and nail them all the way up to the peak. So that allows the mountaineers who come next month to hold onto these ropes and then they keep climbing up. So this acts as a guide.

But these for ice fall doctors, because they are the first ones to go before anyone can go up in the mountain, the risks are enormous. Like three Sherpas died in a few years ago when there was an avalanche, when they were fixing these chains and ropes. So they can immediately send in case if they need any equipment or any medicine. So for them, it is extremely useful.

On the other hand, will it replace the Sherpas? They don't think so because, you know, we're talking about 400, 500 mountaineers coming every year to Mount Everest. They get the permit to go up. to scale the peak. So you need at least two Sherpas for each mountaineer or sometimes people take in a big group. And they cannot carry huge amount of equipment.
