Kami Rita Sherpa rd everest ascend
KATHMANDU: Legendary Nepali climber Kami Rita Sherpa has once again etched his name deeper into mountaineering history after successfully summiting Mount Everest for a record 32nd time, further extending his own world record as the person with the highest number of ascents of the world’s tallest mountain.
According to Nepal-based expedition organizer Seven Summit Treks, the 55-year-old veteran climber reached the summit of Mount Everest at 10:12 AM on Sunday, marking another historic milestone in global adventure tourism and Himalayan climbing.
Kami Rita, widely recognized as one of the world’s most accomplished high-altitude mountaineers, had previously set the record with his 31st Everest summit in 2025. His latest ascent further cements Nepal’s position at the center of global mountaineering, adventure tourism, and extreme-altitude expeditions.
Often referred to internationally as the “Everest Man,” Kami Rita has been climbing Everest consistently since 1994, guiding international climbers and supporting expeditions on the mountain that attracts thousands of trekkers, mountaineers, and adventure travelers to Nepal every year.
Kami Rita’s repeated success on Everest is viewed globally as a symbol of Nepal’s unmatched expertise in high-altitude mountaineering, Sherpa climbing heritage, and mountain tourism leadership. His achievement comes at a time when Nepal’s tourism industry continues to recover and expand through increased demand for Everest expeditions, Himalayan trekking, and adventure travel in Nepal.
Born in Nepal’s mountainous Solukhumbu region, home to many elite climbers, Kami Rita has dedicated over three decades to Himalayan expeditions. His repeated ascents showcase not only personal endurance but also the technical expertise of Nepal’s climbing community, whose role is critical to the safety and success of international Everest expeditions.
Mount Everest, standing at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level, remains one of the world’s biggest attractions for global adventure seekers. Every climbing season, hundreds of international mountaineers travel to Nepal, boosting sectors ranging from tourism and aviation to hospitality and expedition logistics.
Industry experts say record-setting achievements by climbers like Kami Rita further elevate Nepal’s profile in global tourism, strengthening search interest around terms such as Mount Everest expedition, Nepal trekking, Himalayan adventure travel, Everest Base Camp, mountain climbing records, and world’s highest mountain tourism.
Kami Rita’s 32nd summit once again highlights Nepal’s enduring reputation as the epicenter of high-altitude adventure and one of the world’s premier destinations for mountaineering enthusiasts.
