Bodies of Three Nepalese Climbers from Broad Peak Avalanche Arrive in Kathmandu
The bodies of three Nepalese climbers killed in a July 30 avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir arrived in Kathmandu on August 11, officials said. Among the victims was veteran British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja, whose body was flown to the UK. The remains of Kili Pemba Sherpa, Gyalu Sherpa, and Nima Sherpa were received and will be available for public tribute before being handed to families.

Broad Peak is the world’s 12th-highest mountain, known for its challenging conditions and hazardous recovery operations.
