People can do anything to attract attention \u2013 the best thing going for him was that not many people could watch him at that height barring the passengers of a jetliner flying nearby!!<\/p>\n

And he did start a controversy that could haunt him for some time in a country where the mountain is more than just a topography.<\/p>\n

A Nepalese sherpa stripped and stood naked on the summit of Everest in sub-zero temperatures for three minutes, sparking an immediate row over defiling the sacred mountain.
\nThe Nepal Mountaineering Association condemned the feat by Lakpa Tharke Sherpa, 25, on the world\u2019s highest mountain, which is known as Sagarmatha and like most Himalayan peaks has a religious significance to many Nepalese.<\/p>\n

His team told expedition organisers of his world-topping strip on Wednesday by satellite telephone and said they had taken photographs of the shivering Sherpa.<\/p>\n

\u201cLakpa Tharke Sherpa stood naked for about three minutes after reaching the summit on Wednesday,\u201d Ishwori Poudel, managing director of the Himalayan Guides Nepal Trek and Expeditions, said.<\/p>\n

NMA president Ang Tshering Sherpa said it was up to the government to consider whether they should take action.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very shocking news because Mount Everest is regarded as a Goddess Mother of the Earth to the Nepali people,\u201d he said. \u201cIf some of these people stand on the Goddess mountain naked, then it\u2019s not appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said temperatures in cloudy weather could drop as low as minus 25 Celsius and only rising to minus 7C under the sun \u2014 and if the wind died down.<\/p>\n

Some of the mountains in the Himalayan range in Nepal are off limits to climbers because of their religious significance.<\/p>\n
