Nepal

Nepal enters the wiki through Afghanistan, five years on: our correspondent visits as the national and mountain context for Nirmal Purja. The source says Purja was born within sight of Dhaulagiri, left the mountains as a child, trained through a Gurkha and military route, and later returned to Himalayan climbing through Project Possible.

The page is source-scoped. The episode uses Nepal less as a general country profile than as a way to connect birthplace, military training, Sherpa recognition, high-altitude labor and elite mountaineering records.

Connections

• Nirmal Purja - Nepali mountaineer profiled in the source.
• Project Possible - fourteen-peak speed-climbing project.
• High-Altitude Climbing Ethics - debate over oxygen, ropes, helicopters, rescue and recognition.
• Extreme Environment Risk Management - broader wiki frame for high-altitude decision-making.
