The Avalanche Simulation Workshop

Survival Lessons: From Everest to Boardrooms

A Motivational Interaction

On the 25th of April, 2015, a massive earthquake shook the entire country of Nepal. At Mt. Everest, it triggered an Avalanche that tore through the Base Camp, leaving in its wake, 21 dead and over 60 casualties. Expedition Leaders, Sauraj & Samir, attempting to climb Mt. Everest, were caught in the most horrific disaster in the history of mountaineering. Buried by the avalanche, they emerged to see a trail of destruction which included their camp. Their team stayed back with the Indian Army Everest team, to aid in rescue and recovery efforts
