The climbers spent years planning and saving, but the altitude is called the "death zone" for good reason. In 2016, 2 men died near the top of Mount Everest. Their bodies lay frozen there for a year. Then a journey began to bring them home.http://nyti.ms/2oFIIha

There were 3 major reasons the Ghosh family desperately wanted his body returned. The first reason was emotional. The idea that he lay near the summit of Everest, alone, was nearly too much to bear. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/3B8hsBX8w5

The second reason was religious. Hindus believe that the body is a temporary vessel for the soul. Once the soul is severed from the body through cremation, it is reincarnated in another body. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/zHd9EpWhpr

The third reason was financial. Legally, in India, Goutam was considered a missing person. Only when a body was produced, or 7 years had passed, would the government issue a death certificate. http://nyti.ms/2oFKQpe pic.twitter.com/kQokbdssUe
