A Sherpa climber from Khumjung Valley arrived in Kathmandu from Pakistan this morning after successfully scaling Broad Peak in the summer season. Moon crater named after national luminary Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Pasang Namgyal Sherpa completes all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters Pasang Namgya Sherpa, 53, has now become the only Nepali climber to scale all 14 peaks above 8,000m and two rarely climbed mountains - Lhotse Shar and Yalung Khang. Hundreds of people gathered at the Tribhuvan International Airport offering a hero's welcome to Sherpa. "Pasang Namgyal has now become the first Nepali climber to successfully scale all 16 peaks above 8,000m," Managing Director at Imagine Nepal Treks Mingma G said while receiving the climber at the Tribhuvan International Airport. Mingma G heralded his achievement as unparalleled. Sherpa's latest summit was recorded as he scaled Broad Peak in Pakistan on July 27, registering successful ascent of 14 of the highest summits in the world. Sherpa has already climbed two more peaks – Lhotse Sar (8,400m) and Yalung Khang (8,505m). Director at the Department of Tourism Rakesh Gurung, Senior Vice President of Nepal Mountaineering Association Thakur Raj Pandey, NMA and government officials, as well as scores of well-wishers honoured Sherpa upon his arrival. Speaking on the occasion, DoT's Director Gurung said that efforts were underway to frame a climbing-friendly tourism Act in the country. "Pasang Namgyal's success reflects the brevity of Nepali climbers," he added. Gurung applauded Sherpa for his exceptional achievements. NMA's senior vice president Pandey asked the government to honour climbing Sherpas and address their demands at the earliest. "Climbers' welfare fund is the need of the hour," he said, adding that Sherpas are the backbone of mountain climbing. Senior climbing guide from Imagine Nepal Treks, Pasang Namgyal, also known as the "Himalayan Tiger," is a legendary Nepalese climber who frequently climbed with veteran Korean climbers. He earned the nickname "Himalayan Tiger" from the Koreans due to his bravery and ferocity in the mountains. Pasang holds the distinction of being the sole Nepali climber to have summitted Lhotse Sar and Yalung Khang (8,505m), according to Mingma G. Pasang Namgyal's Summit Success:
