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

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
