Prince Mohammed becomes first man from Bahrain to climb Mt. Everest
Kathmandu, May 11. Bahrain Prince Sheikh Mohammed Hamad Mohammed Al-Khalifa and Royal Guards have successfully reached the top of Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest).
Mingma Sherpa, chairman of Seven Summit Treks, informed DCnepal that the first team from Bahrain scaled the peak at around 6:45 am NST today.
The 17-membered Bahraini team became the first international team to climb the new altitude (8848.86m) of Mt. Everest. The new height was announced in December last year.
Also, this is the second time someone has reached the summit of Mt Everest since the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier last week, 51-year old Kami Rita Sherpa accomplished his 25th Everest expedition.
Sheikh along with 16 Bahrain guards had arrived Nepal on March 15, 2021. Before leaving to Everest expedition, he told DCNepal, Sheikh said that he cannot imagine any expedition without the Sherpas of the Himalayas.
The Bahraini Royal Guard team was formed three years ago, with a mission to reach the world’s highest peaks. In September 2020, they had scaled Lobuche peak (6,619m) and Mt. Manaslu (8,156m) as a preparation for their Everest expedition.
