Indian climber died while attempting to reach the peak of Mount Kanchenjunga.

According to an official, an Indian climber perished during a summit effort on Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third tallest mountain.

The death is the third in the current climbing season, which began in March, in the Nepal Himalayas.

Narayanan Iyer, 52, died on Thursday at an altitude of roughly 8,200 meters (26,900 feet) while attempting to summit the 8,586 meter (28,169 feet) peak, according to Nivesh Karki, a representative of the hiking business Pioneer Adventure, which organized the expedition.

“Iyer’s guide asked him to return when he became ill, but he refused,” Karki claimed, confirming Iyer’s death.

“He was a little slower than the rest, so we had two escorts to help him.” He was completely spent, unable to continue, and collapsed.”

On the mountain, there were numerous other teams, including a Pakistani group whose member, Sirbaz Khan, became the first Pakistani to climb ten peaks over 8,000 meters.

A Greek climber and a Nepali Sherpa guide died on other peaks this month.

Mountain climbing is the primary source of revenue and employment in Nepal, which has eight of the world’s fourteen tallest peaks, including Mount Everest.

During the current season, which ends in May, more than 900 international mountaineers have been granted permission to climb 26 Himalayan peaks in Nepal, including Mount Everest.
