Record-breaking climbers, Norwegian climber Kristin Harila and her Nepali Sherpa guide Tenjen, received a grand welcome at the Tribhuvan International Airport on Saturday.

The duo created a mountaineering history by scaling all 14 peaks above 8,000 metres in a record 93 days.

Kristin and Tenjen stood atop the 8,611-metre Mt K2 in the Karakoram range of Pakistan, the second-highest peak in the world on July 27.

They broke the speed record set by Nirmal Purja. In 2019, Purja set a world record by completing the ascent of 14 peaks in six months and seven days.

Here are some photos the Post’s photojournalist Hemanta Shrestha captured as they were welcomed by government representatives and tourism entrepreneurs.
