Kathmandu (TIP): A 52 year-old Indian climber died while ascending the peak of Mt Kanchenjunga in Nepal, according to the organiser of the expedition. Narayanan Iyer, a resident of Maharashtra, died on May 6 at 8,200 metre altitude of the world’s third highest mountain peak lying at the India-Nepal border, NiveshKarki, executive director of the Pioneer Adventure, the organiser of the expedition, told PTI. According to the preliminary report, the Indian climber died due to high-altitude sickness, some 386 metre below the 8,586 metre high peak. The climber refused to descend when the organisers “asked him to descend when he fell sick” while scaling the mountain, which led to his death, Karki told PTI. (PTI)
