英籍尼泊尔登山家尼玛尔·普尔贾在巴基斯坦布罗德峰的一场雪崩中丧生[1]。这场雪崩发生在上周四，地点位于海拔8047米的布罗德峰，共造成10名登山者遇难，其中包括6名尼泊尔籍登山者，其余4人分别来自美国、中国、阿曼和巴基斯坦[1]。普尔贾的去世在全球登山界和尼泊尔引发了广泛哀悼。
普尔贾因在6个多月内登顶世界14座最高峰而闻名[1]。他曾在英国军队服役16年，其中在特种部队任职10年[1]，并声称是在英国军队服役期间登顶珠穆朗玛峰的第一位廓尔喀兵[1]。2018年，已故英国女王授予他MBE勋章[1]，其登山历程于2021年被拍成Netflix纪录片[1]。尼泊尔总理巴林德拉·沙阿表示普尔贾的"勇气、奉献和贡献的历史将永远鼓舞人心"[1]。
Ten mountaineers, including renowned British-Nepalese climber Nirmal Purja, were killed in an avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan last Thursday [1]. Among the victims were six Nepali climbers, with the remaining four coming from the United States, China, Oman, and Pakistan [1]. The disaster has triggered widespread mourning across Nepal and the global mountaineering community.
Purja, who gained international recognition for summiting all 14 of the world's highest peaks in just over six months, served 16 years in the British military, including 10 years in special forces [1]. He received an MBE honor from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2018 [1], and his mountaineering journey was documented in a 2021 Netflix documentary [1]. He claimed to be the first Gurkha soldier to summit Mount Everest while serving in the British Army [1].
Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah expressed that Purja's "courage, dedication, and history of contribution will forever inspire" [1]. The tragic loss occurred at the 8,047-meter peak. In 2024, The New York Times reported sexual assault allegations against Purja from two women, which he denied through his legal representatives [1].
