A climber who sustained injuries while descending Dhaulagiri in Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality–4 of Myagdi has been successfully rescued after two days.
Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, a 21-year-old from Makalu Rural Municipality–2 in Sankhuwasabha, suffered severe injuries on Friday morning when he slipped near the summit and fell approximately 400 meters while descending after successfully scaling the 8,167-meter peak.
