Why are people going to the mountains? In Europe some people can take it as an sport exercise or they just enjoy the scenery and the beauty of the nature. Even my father who is not religious at all, said that in mountains he can feel closer to God. For me it is like some good meditation, there is a huge space, strong light, cleanness and I am above all worldly things. I can breath freely, sometimes after a long pranayama practice in the city I can breath like that.
In Nepal hindus were going up to the mountains to some holy waterfall, probably to take some bath. Maybe they feel the same like everybody, but probably they explain it in a different way. Maybe they place some religious reason for that while europians just go to the top because it is cool and they just don't think about it.
