Four Nepali Sherpa siblings have achieved global recognition from the Guinness World Records for their ascent of K2, the world’s second-highest peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rising to 8,611 metres along the Pakistan-China border in the Karakoram Range, this peak is famed for its severe steepness, technical difficulties, avalanche risks, and rapidly shifting weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muktu Sherpa, Ang Dawa Sherpa, Ngima Dorchi Sherpa and Pechhumbe Sherpa, who hail from the remote village of Makalu in Nepal\u2019s Sankhuwasabha district, reached the summit on July 27, 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the record for the most siblings to climb K2 yet,\u201d Seven Summit Treks General Manager Thaneswar Guragai told reporters on Friday. He added that the achievement highlights not just the individual climbing skills but also the collaborative spirit and familial bonds among the climbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt reflects both the physical challenge of scaling K2 and the unique aspect of family participation in such a high-stakes endeavour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four brothers were part of a joint K2 expedition led by expedition director Chhang Dawa Sherpa. Pechhumbe was a member of the 8K Expeditions team, while the other three were with Seven Summit Treks during the historic ascent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
