Nepali climber Sanu Sherpa, who has set the record of being the only climber in the world to climb 14 mountains higher than 8,000 meters–eight in Nepal, five in Pakistan and one in China–twice, was welcomed at the Tribhuvan International Airport on Saturday.

The 47-year-old Sherpa from Makalu, Sankhuwasabha became the only climber to climb all 14 8,000-meter high mountains twice in the world after climbing the 8,035-meter-high Gasherbrum-II mountain in the Karakoram mountain range of Pakistan on July 21.

He had gone to Pakistan some two months back as the climbing team leader

Pioneer Adventures Pvt Ltd in Kathmandu to assist a Japanese climber to climb Gasherbrum-II.
