Is it necessary to die on such a pilgrimage ? RIP

Understand that friend can't collect body.
body has to be cremated then sent back to country.
Sad for family members of decreased.
Send off at changi walking come back In a ash urn.

These uncles and aunties confirm thinking climb mountain like walk in the park. They died because they were unprepared for climbing a real mountain.

altitude sickness is a serious condition and can be fatal
many have died even at levels of 5000 metres and even less
even young ones can succumb to the illness
so if you are planning to go to mountain resorts or to areas like Tibet
please prepare yourself and please be careful
fatal accidents had happened
and some even embraced pure faith to take the plunge
but it is really not necessary to risk one's life for such a journey

if we can take a pilgrimage through our body itself
it will spare us a lot of undue problems...R I P ....

the agents who organized the tours should have warned them
should have prepared them

very sad...I am sure they must be very holy and very good people to undergo such an arduous and perilous journey,,,,,R I P
