Indian mountaineer Shradha Gupta is currently on her Mount Everest expedition, marking another major milestone in her rapidly rising climbing journey after successfully summiting Mount Manaslu (8,163 metres) -- the world's eighth-highest mountain.

Nepalese mountaineers created history by scaling K2, the second highest peak of the world, for the first time during the winter season. A total of 48 mountaineers including five women reached the mountain's base camp to kick off the expedition on December 29, 2020, out of which five were injured and many others returned due to tough weather at the peak.

A team of Nepali climbers that made the first winter summit of K2, the world’s second tallest peak, arrived back in the country to a heroes' welcome on Tuesday from crowds of well-wishers.

Traffic jams in metro cities is a common phenomenon but can you believe that there can be traffic jam on the world’s tallest mountain? There was a long que of about 320 people at the peak waiting to reach the summit and click a photograph.

A team of mountaineers retrieved the bodies of a US climber and her Nepali guide killed in an avalanche on Mount Shishapangma in Tibet last year. The bodies of Anna Gutu and her guide Mingmar Sherpa were brought down the mountain and reunited with their families in Kathmandu. The bodies of two other climbers, including record-holding guide Tenjen "Lama" Sherpa, remain missing.

Following 11 deaths, and the infamous 'traffic jam', on Mt Everest this climbing season, the Indian mountaineering community says that scaling the world's highest peak has become a 'dangerous fad'
