British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal ‘Nimsdai’ Purja’s tragic death has come as a shock not just for his family, but the entire world is mourning his loss. He was an inspiration for many as he climbed all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks in a record six months. However, the legend passed away recently after facing a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan, which struck on July 30, 2026.
Nirmal Purja’s last wish was left unfulfilled
Nirmal Purja was born on July 25, 1983, in Dana, a small village in Nepal’s Myagdi District near Dhaulagiri, and now his entire village has fallen into silence after his tragic passing. His cousin, Kamala KC, has been inconsolable for the past four days as she is still coming to terms with her brother’s death. When she learned of his disappearance, Kamala refused to believe the news and has been visiting the ruins of Purja’s home, where she once played with him.
