A mission to Nepal for Sir Edmund Hillary, and 70s current affairs show Encounter. The famed explorer talks about the pros and cons of Western influence on Nepal, and we visit schools and hospitals he helped to establish. While local Sherpas have historically had problems with iodine deficiencies, tourists and mountaineers battle altitude sickness. Includes material on the creation of Sagarmatha National Park, established in 1976 with help from the New Zealand Government.
