                      Kami Rita Sherpa Aka Everest Man Gets Heroic Welcome After 30th Summit Of Mount Everest

                      Kami Rita Sherpa, aka the ''Everest Man,'' is performing rituals as he arrives at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, from the Everest region, setting the record for the highest number of ascents by a single person on May 24, 2024. The 54-year-old Sherpa climber has been scaling mountains for over two decades. His mountaineering journey began in 1992 when he joined an expedition to Everest as a support staff member. Since then, Kami Rita is fearlessly embarking on numerous expeditions, summiting Everest multiple times. His achievements extend beyond Everest, as he is also conquering other formidable peaks, including K2, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and Manaslu. On Tuesday, Kami Rita is also leading a team of climbers to the top of the world's tallest peak. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
