An Indian climber died during a summit push on Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain, a hiking official said on Saturday.
The death is the third to be reported in the Nepal Himalayas during the current climbing season, which started in March.
Narayanan Iyer, 52, died around 8,200 metres, above sea level while trying to reach the 8,586-metre- peak on Thursday, said Nivesh Karki, an official of the hiking company that organised the expedition.
“Iyer’s guide advised him to turn back after he was feeling unwell but he refused,” Karki said while confirming the death.
