New Delhi: Authorities in Nepal are investigating the case of two Indian mountaineers who allegedly faked their Mount Everest summit in 2016. The duo Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami were part of a 15-member international team managed by the Seven Summit Treks in Nepal.
Yadav’s name was also in the list of awardees for the prestigious Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award by the Indian government last year. But his name was withheld following claims by some veteran mountaineers that the images posted by him were doctored.

They did this without any maps or high-tech equipmentâtheir boots were not waterproof, and their jackets were not made of down feather. They had to navigate tricky crevasses and stay ahead of avalanches while braving temperatures that dipped to a numbing minus 50 degre
