The bodies of three Nepali mountaineers — Kili Pemba Sherpa, Gyalu Sherpa, and Nima Sherpa — have arrived at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, where grieving relatives gathered to receive them. The climbers died after being struck by an avalanche on Broad Peak (an 8,051-metre summit in Pakistan's Karakoram range, one of the world's highest mountains). The deaths underscore the persistent dangers faced by Nepali climbing professionals, who make up a large share of the high-altitude workforce on the world's most treacherous peaks.
