Nepali mountaineers who conquered one of the world s most treacherous peaks returned home to a rapturous welcome Tuesday, with cheering supporters hailing their first-ever winter summit of K2 as a triumph for their Himalayan nation.
Their ascent in mid-January of the world s second-highest mountain the notoriously challenging 8,611-metre (28,251-feet) savage mountain of Pakistan shone a much-deserved spotlight on their own climbing prowess.
A band played patriotic songs as the team arrived in Kathmandu, while well-wishers held out flowers and waved national flags.
Nepali climber Nirmal Purja, who recently made history along with four other summiters by becoming the first to summit K2 in winter, share his experience on social media.
