Machapuchare

Machapuchare (o Machchapuchchare) è una montagna nell'Himalaya nepalese, alta 6993 metri; si erge di fronte alla città di Pokhara, ed è una montagna sacra per le popolazioni locali; per la sua forma slanciata ed il panorama in cui si inserisce, è considerata una delle più spettacolari al mondo.

Nome

La sua doppia vetta ricorda la coda di un pesce, da qui il nome che significa "coda di pesce" in nepalese. È anche soprannominato il "Cervino del Nepal"[da chi?].

Ascensioni

Il Machapuchare è venerato dalle popolazioni locali come particolarmente sacro al dio Shiva e vi è quindi vietata la pratica dell'alpinismo.

Ufficialmente, nessun alpinista, individualmente o in spedizione, ha mai raggiunto la sommità del Machapuchare fino ad oggi. L'unico tentativo documentato risale al 1957, quando l'alpinista inglese Wilfrid Noyce si fermò a 50 m dalla vetta per rispetto alle tradizioni locali.

Da allora, la montagna è stata dichiarata sacra e interdetta agli alpinisti[1].

Note

  1. ^ Sembra che la vetta sia stata scalata illegalmente dall'alpinista neozelandese Bill Denz negli anni ottanta, vedi: (EN) Machhapuchare : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering, su summitpost.org.
