class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the first edition of the Polish-Nepalese festival, which recreates the atmosphere of Himalayan expedition bases from decades ago and combines the experiences of mountaineers with the spirit of the mountains and the East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The atmosphere of a real base camp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisers made sure that visitors could feel as though they were in a real camp in the Himalayas. There were tents, prayer flags, aromatic masala tea, Tibetan singing bowls and music, all of which created a remarkable atmosphere of authenticity. The festival was not only a series of talks and meetings, but also a symbolic bridge between the cultures of Nepal and Tibet and the Polish Himalayan tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meroway on stage \u2013 talks by Nima Sherpa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a particular honour for us that <strong>Nima Sherpa<\/strong>, co-founder of Meroway Adventure, had the opportunity to co-host two talks at the festival:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>together with <strong>Alexander Lvov<\/strong> he was talking about it, <em>What do people eat in the Himalayas?<\/em> \u2013 from the traditional Sherpa diet to high-altitude food on expeditions,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>amongst legends such as <strong>Krzysztof Wielicki<\/strong>, took part in a discussion on <em>equipment used in high mountains and how it has changed over the years<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are immensely proud that Nima was able to share his knowledge and experience on the same stage as the leading figures in Polish and international mountaineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

festival provided an opportunity for the most outstanding Polish Himalayan climbers to meet, including: <strong>Krzysztof Wielicki, Leszek Cichy, Aleksander Lw\u00f3w, Anna Okopi\u0144ska, Piotr Snopczy\u0144ski, Wies\u0142aw Panejka and Janusz Kulis<\/strong>. Conversations, recollections and discussions with these figures served as a reminder of just how important a part of the history of world mountaineering Polish Himalayan mountaineering is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meetings with participants on our expeditions<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for us personally, the greatest honour was meeting you all \u2013 <strong>participants in the Meroway expeditions<\/strong>, who turned out in large numbers to visit our stand. Some popped into the festival by chance, whilst others came specifically to meet us and reminisce together about the time we spent in the Himalayas. It was precisely these conversations, handshakes and photos that made us realise once again just how great it is to do what we do!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-id-15255_8aff95-f0.kb-gallery-ul.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel .kt-blocks-carousel figure .kb-gal-image-radius,
