Every mountaineer dreams of one day conquering the world’s highest peak, Everest. Two Indian mountaineers, Arun Kumar Tiwari and Sandeep Aray, achieved that dream by testing their physical and mental strength. But after conquering the summit, they fell ill and died. Rishi Bhandari, General Secretary of Nepal Expedition Operators Association, confirmed the death of Arun and Sandeep.
Rishi said that the two climbers were very tired while coming down. He said, “Sherpas tried to save their lives. Even after that, it was not possible to save them.” “Arun reached the summit of Everest around 5.30 pm on Thursday. He fell ill near the Hillary Step during the descent. The guides tried hard to bring him down. But all efforts failed,” added. Another mountaineer Sandeep A also died.
According to the sources of Nepal administration, a total of 5 people have died in the Everest expedition this season. Earlier, 3 Nepali climbers died. According to Nepal’s ‘Expedition Operators Association’, 274 climbers from different countries conquered Mount Everest on Wednesday. Among them is 21-year-old Sanika Shah, a woman mountaineer of the Indian Border Guard Force.
