00:12The spotlight of worldwide interest is focused

00:14for the moment on Kathmandu, the capital

00:16of Nepal.

00:18Far away and little known,

00:20its streets present a picturesque

00:22oriental scene attractive enough to

00:24westernize at any time, but all the more

00:26intriguing today as Kathmandu awaits

00:28the conquerors of Everest.

00:30The people are mostly Buddhist.

00:32Strange effigies of gods and demons

00:34are a local feature.

00:36By way of sharp contrast, the royal palace

00:38is a magnificent building of western appearance

00:40and the royal guards at this time

00:42were very much on the spot, for King Tripuvan

00:44was preparing to do honour to the mountaineers.

00:50The Himalayas, seen here

00:52from an RAF aircraft in wartime

00:54are the giants of the earth.

00:56Grim, inhospitable, forbidding

00:58and the greatest of these giants, of course

01:00is Mount Everest itself, a permanent challenge

01:02to the adventurous spirit of man.

01:10Now it has been conquered and in Kathmandu

01:12they build special stands and arches of welcome

01:14in readiness for celebration.

01:16Nepalese musicians practice their repertoire.

01:20They mean to say it with music.

01:26Already arrived are Gregory and Bordillon

01:30of the first assault party

01:32and the leader of the expedition,

01:34Colonel, soon to be Sir John Hunt.

01:36His wife had flown out to meet him

01:38and they now posed for their photographs

01:40with two smiling Sherpas.

01:46There were eight camps,

01:48steps to the highest point on the earth's surface

01:50which was to be at last

01:52attained by two men.

01:54And over there, buried in the clouds,

01:58is the mighty mountain which they scaled.

02:00Back in Kathmandu,

02:02it was a day of great excitement

02:03as Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing

02:05were due to arrive.

02:06Everyone was waiting for them,

02:08including Nepalese army leaders

02:10and the British ambassador with Mrs. Hunt.

02:12Yes, Kathmandu certainly did the Everest heroes pride.

02:16Grand processions must be rare events in such a place.

02:22The men of the moment came riding in a coach

02:24past the crowds of people,

02:26all expressing delight and praise

02:28for the two mountaineers who together

02:30reached the top of the world.

02:36Tenzing Norky, the Sherpa,

02:38now called the Tiger of Tigers

02:40and Edmund Hillary of New Zealand

02:42who, like the leader of the expedition,

02:44is to be knighted.
