Nirmal Purja Instagram – THE HAPPIEST MOMENT. I was very happy to see Capt Dipendra Singh Khatri recovering well in hospital in Kathmandu. @Eliteexped team and I were involved in rescuing him from the South Summit of Everest this week – this is the World’s Highest Rescue Mission. We brought him down from the South Summit (8,749m) to Camp 4 (7,950m), where two Sherpas from his team met us and took on his care.
I am glad to see you well Brother! This is a great result – when you put so much effort into a rescue and risk so much to try and save someone’s life – to see them recovering well in safety is the best feeling. It’s hard to describe that feeling that you have made a real difference and saved a life.
Sadly, not all high-altitude rescues have this happy outcome – rescue missions like this are life and death in the Big Mountains. Sadly, some of those we tried to rescue during 14 Peaks unfortunately died, even though we gave our everything, even putting aside our mission to try and save lives. That’s what makes this positive outcome so fantastic for my whole team.
I wish you a great onward recovery journey Brother!
