characteristics which enable a person to become an effective

under stressful conditions.
Specialized emergency rescue teams must be
composed of disciplined, highly trained. The lives of fellow

each member performing capably in exhausting situation. For
this reason, each Trainee must meet the minimum requirements
shown on the training requirements. All training is provided

certain other requirements. Although certain members may
specialize in one or more subjects, we expect all Rescue

Importance of High Mountain Rescue Training
We know that our country is well known for beautiful Himalayas
as well as one of the best holiday and adventure destination in the
world. Many adventure activities had been taken place since the country
opened for foreign holidaymakers and other adventure activities, which
is the positive aspect in tourism industry.
Naturally when there are more people involved in different outdoors
activities including mountaineering expeditions the chances of the
accidents during the adventure activities is also increased. As we know
that there had been several accidents in different part of the country
each year, which carries out the negative message for the tourism
industry of Nepal. In order to prevent and minimize the risk in
different incidents during above activities, the only option to prevent
and minimize the risk in above mention activities is by providing enough
appropriate High Mountain Rescue training.
Although conducting this kind of course is quite expensive financially,
even so there is high demand of this kind of training in tourism
industry. According to the previous incidents records, we definitely
need to set up the qualified National responsible Rescue team as soon as
possible with affiliation of related Government and non-government
organization.
