@kingofnepal289: The world is mourning the loss of world-renowned British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal "Nimsdai" Purja, who reportedly died in an avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan. Five years after making history by leading the first successful winter ascent of K2, Purja ultimately lost his life in the mountains he loved. Purja became a global icon after setting a world record by climbing all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in just 6 months and 6 days, showcasing Nepal's mountaineering excellence to the world. His extraordinary journey was immortalized in his book Beyond Possible and the Netflix documentary 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, inspiring millions across the globe. One of the most emotional moments in Nimsdai's life was connected to his mother, Purnakumari Purja. Before he set out on his record-breaking mission, she asked him, "Nirmal, are you going to die in the mountains because taking care of your parents is too difficult?" Deeply moved by her words, Purja went on to fulfill his dream—but, in the end, his life also came to an end in the mountains. In 2020, after returning to Nepal with the dream of moving his mother into a new home, Purja received the heartbreaking news of her passing upon arriving at the airport. Today, millions of admirers around the world are paying tribute to a true hero of the mountains, whose courage, determination, and legacy will never be forgotten. ---- #Nimsdai #BroadPeak #RestInPeace #NirmalPurja .#NimsDai"
