200 cilmbers scaled Everest from Nepal side in May



Kathmandu, May 29 (DPA) Almost 200 climbers scaled the world's highest mountain, 8,848 metre-high Mount Everest, from the Nepalese side during the spring climbing season, according to the Nepalese tourism ministry.

The ministry said Sunday that 194 climbers had scaled the mountain so far this year, which include 104 Nepalese Sherpas.

Foreign climbers included 19 from the US, 16 from Britain, eight from India, six from South Korea, five each from Canada and Poland, four each from Spain and New Zealand, three each from Switzerland, Philippines and Australia, two from South Africa and one each from 12 other countries.

Almost all used the normal South East Ridge route, first used by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and high altitude porter Tenzing Norgay, when they conquered the summit for the first time in May 1953.

Over 2,000 climbers are since estimated to scaled Everest from both the Nepalese and Tibetan sides.

The mountain, about 160 km northeast of the Nepalese capital, on the border between Nepal and Tibet, continues to draw a large number of climbers each year from different parts of the world.

According to the tourism ministry, of 53 teams permitted to climb various Himalayan peaks in Nepal during the current spring mountaineering season, 17 tackled Everest.
