Presentations
After an active day, it is nice, with a good story and photos, to relax and 'travel far away' to some exotic destination in search of unforgettable adventures and experiences.
A SKY FULL OF HIMALAYAS / Darko Berljak
Date: Friday, November 10th, 2023
Location: Malinska / Hotel Malin
Time: 20.00h
Darko Berljak is one of Croatia’s leading authorities on high mountains, especially those of the Himalayan region. He has led numerous mountaineering expeditions in Nepal and Tibet (and elsewhere in the world), including two women’s expeditions: one to Cho Oyu, the sixth-highest peak in the world (8201 m), and the other to Mount Everest, the world’s highest (8850 m).
Darko Berljak first travelled to Nepal in 1982 as the leader of the First Zagreb Himalayan Expedition. It was three decades after this small kingdom had opened its borders, but at a time when few foreigners came to the foothills of the Himalayas. Three years later, he entered Tibet, which had been forbidden until then and whose inhabitants lived in a way that had not changed for centuries. Since then, he has visited Nepal and Tibet 36 times and been lucky enough to capture some of the preserved remains of two ancient cultures already being diluted by the influence of the West.
