Kuulus mägironija Nirmal Purja hukkus Pakistanis laviinis

Saturday, 1 August 2026

Tuntud mägironija ja endine Briti armee sõdur Nirmal Purja hukkus neljapäeval Pakistanis Broad Peakil laviinis, teatas tema ettevõte Elite Expeditions.

Elite Expeditions avaldas teate ühismeedias ja märkis, et kinnitab Purja surma „sügava kurbuse ja tohutu südamevaluga“. Ekspeditsiooni ülejäänud üheksa liiget hukkusid samuti, vahendas BBC News.

Ekspeditsioonis oli kümme inimest. Pakistani ametnikud olid varem öelnud, et leitud on kolme mägironija surnukehad. Ametnike sõnul olid hukkunud ameeriklane Mallory Geis, Omaanist pärit Nadhira Ahmed Abdullah Al Harthy ja Nepalist pärit Pur Bahadur Gurung.

Nepalis sündinud Purja sai tuntuks 2019. aastal, kui ta tõusis veidi enam kui kuue kuuga maailma 14 kõrgeima mäe tippu.
