Nepal Marks 73rd Everest Day

Nepal Police personnel, along with mountaineers and Everest summiteers, participate in a rally organized to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the successful ascent of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, celebrated as ''Everest Day'' in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 29, 2026. Dozens of mountaineers and Everest summiteers gather in Kathmandu and hold an awareness rally, walking through the streets of the city. They are later honored by the government for their achievements in scaling the highest peak in the world. The Sherpa community of Nepal is primarily dependent on mountaineering and expeditions. They are tasked with fixing ropes to the summit, officially opening the summit window for climbing enthusiasts. Known for their strength at high altitudes, Sherpas are well-suited for alpine-style expeditions in the Himalayas. Climbers often rely on them to carry oxygen and gear and for safety on the summit path. Sherpas are highly recognized as elite mountaineers and experts in high-altitude adventures.
