Nepal: Third Indian climber has died in Nepal during an expedition to the world’s fifth highest mountain Mount Makalu, an official said Friday.

The deceased has been identified as Narayan Singh.

He died at camp 4 on Thursday night while climbing down from the 8,485-meter summit, Nepal Tourism Ministry official Mira Acharya said.

“Indian climber Narayan Singh died in Mt Makalu. He died at camp 4 while descending the summit,” Acharya said.

Hundreds of climbers flock each year to Nepal – home to several of the world’s highest mountains, to scale Himalayan peaks during the spring season that begins around March and ends in June.
