Nirmal Purja 25 July 1983 – 30 July 2026), also known as Nims or Nimsdai, was a Nepali-British mountaineer. Before beginning a career in mountaineering, he served in the British Army with the Brigade of Gurkhas and later in the Special Boat Service (SBS), the special forces unit of the Royal Navy.
Purja made his first major Himalayan climb in 2012, reaching the summit of Lobuche East with no previous mountaineering experience. On 18 May 2014, he made his first ascent of an eight-thousander by summiting Dhaulagiri (8,167 metres) during a return trip of only 15 days. On 13 May 2016, he summited Mount Everest, his second eight-thousander.

Broad Peak: The Mountain Won't Let Go.

Seven climbers are finally home. Wrapped in their national flags, flown to Islamabad for the journey back to their families.

Among them, legendary mountaineer Nirmal "Nimsdai" Purja.

But three are still up there.

Pakistani guide Sohail Sakhi. American climber Sarah Mallory Geis. Nepali guide Nawang Thindu Sherpa.

Rescue teams have fought for days since the July 30 avalanche. Brutal weather. Extreme avalanche risk. A mountain that refuses to cooperate.

Now the Alpine Club of Pakistan has made the hard call. Search and recovery operations are suspended.

Not cancelled. Suspended.

Crews say they'll return the moment conditions allow it. But for now, three families wait. Still without answers. Still without their loved ones brought home.

Broad Peak has always demanded respect. This tragedy is a brutal reminder of just how much.

Our thoughts are with every family still waiting for their climber to come home. 🙏
