Sanu Sherpa, 48, was received by hundreds of people at the Tribhuvan International Airport in presence of high-level government officials, members from mountaineering community and well wishers.
On June 21, Sherpa successfully scaled Gasherbrum II, becoming the only climber in the world to make double ascent of all 14 peaks above 8,000m.
Pasang Sherpa, Chairman at Pioneer Adventures, said that a chariot procession has been organised to offer hero's welcome to the legendary climber.
