Headphones around the neck, two hands on a Pioneer DJ player. As Tenzing Sherpa used to dance, the waist, head, and body of the Everest climber who reached Everest Camp-2 (6,400 meters) would shake. As DJ Tenzing played the music, the shoes of the climbers would start to shake. Mountains all around, cold weather and music. There were few who did not dance to DJ Tenzing's performance amidst such a breathtaking view of Mount Everest.
For some, these DJing tunes for half an hour became the last dance, the last laugh and the fun moment with each other. Many of those who were swayed by Tenzing's djing at Everest base camp never found their way back home. Tenzing said the dream The
is like crossing the open. His dream of DJing on Mount Everest was fulfilled on May 8. After DJing at the foot of the highest peak in the world, he has returned from Tenzing Himal to the concrete city of Kathmandu.
I got to play music for them too. How many people who danced to my DJing did not return from Mount Everest. I am happy to be involved in their final happiness,” says Tenzing. When traveling abroad for DJing, many people would ask DJ Tenzing, 'How many times have you climbed Mt. Everest?' Because of his Sherpa surname, Tenzing, who shared the name with the first Sherpa to climb Mt. Mt. Tenzing, could not answer the question. Tenzing hadn't even gotten to see Mt. Everest up close, nor had he thought about climbing it, until that question came up. The same question followed Tenzing wherever he went. Then I thought - I will climb the mountain once and leave.
While he was busy with DJing, Himal was not his choice. He enjoyed clubbing and enjoyed nightlife. The Setamme mountain peaks did not tempt him. Actively DJed in clubs from 1992 to 2008. From 1992 to 1999, he DJed in the club 'Jolly Blues' in Thamel without having enough equipment to DJ. Then worked for 7 years in 'X Zone' of Darbarmarg till 2002. And until 2007 he played as a disc jockey at Rox Bar in Hyatt Regency. After working for a year at Hotel Yak & Yeti's Club Platinum, he went on an international tour. During that tour, many questioned him about climbing Mount Everest. That question made Tenzing climb the mountain, dreaming of DJing on the highest peak.
Tenzing's father is a teacher. Tenzing was born in New York, the country beyond Mount Everest. grew up there. He used to come from time to time, returning to New York after the winter holidays. However, after the international tour, his dream of DJing at Everest grew so much that he started preparations in 2009. At that time, there was a big buzz about Tenzing DJing at Everest base camp. The preparations had been completed, the news had been published. However, the government did not allow it at the last moment. Later British DJ Paul gave a DJ performance at the base camp. "Foreigners can do it when they want to do it," he said.
ran to the then tourism minister Sudan Kirati several times for permission. The Minister of Tourism is concerned about security issues. But Tenzing tried his best to persuade them. There was only one question in Tenzing's mind - foreigners can perform, but I can't perform on Mount Everest in my own country? Although he did not get permission to DJ at the base camp, Tenzing started to work on connecting with Everest.
Namche started celebrating 'Everest Day' (May 29) with the youth group. He has been running 'Everest Day' for 17 years and this work also helped him to give DJ performances. On May 8, Tenzing's dream came true when he stood at Camp 2 of Everest and stopped the climbers. The aspiration to climb Mount Everest has also been fulfilled. Tenzing has climbed Mount Everest with DJ performances. The agony of the snow and wind as they reached Camp 3 is now a sweet memory for Tenzing. Tenzing says the DJ experience is amazing. To break the story, Pakistan had previously held the record of deejaying at a height of 5,900. Tenzing is now breaking that record and writing his name in the Guinness Book of World Records. He is confident that he will hold that record. It will take one year to get the certificate. However, I have fulfilled all the guidelines of Guinness World Records. Therefore, I am sure that Nepal will keep the record of DJing at the highest place," he said.

Some were enjoying themselves even with oxygen pipes in their mouths,' Tenzing told his experience, 'For me, playing at sea level is the same, playing at that height of the mountains was the same experience.'
Tenzing told his family that he will DJ on Mount Everest and climb Mount Everest just a week before coming to Nepal. He thought that his wife would stop it. However, he got the support of his wife. Tenzing says that he would not have achieved the feat of DJing without the support of his family. "If the world's highest peak is in our country, why don't we make a record," he said, "so I thought of doing a DJ on Everest in terms of tourism promotion."
