A 36-year-old Nepali turned into the quickest climber to summit the world's 14 most noteworthy mountains on Tuesday, scaling every one of the mountains in a little more than a half year, his climbing organization stated, an accomplishment different climber has taken quite a long while to finish.

Nirmal Purja scaled Mount Shishapangma at 8,027 meters (26,335 feet) in Tibet, a half year and multi-week after he climbed his first in the battle, Mount Annapurna I, commencing his "Undertaking Possible".

Mingma Sherpa of the Seven Summit Treks organization that gave coordination to Purja's group said he was joined by three Sherpa climbers to the Sishapangma summit.

"Mission achieved," Purja posted on his Instagram from the summit in Tibet, the world's fourteenth most elevated mountain.

Organization official Sherpa said all summiteers were headed to base camp and expected to come back to Kathmandu this week. "This is the world record," he said.

In the wake of climbing Annapurna, the tenth most noteworthy top, on April 23, Purja took on the other "8,000ers", climbing Dhaulagiri, Kanchenjunga, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu in the next month.

He at that point went to Pakistan, where he climbed Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, K2, and the Broad Peak. Purja climbed another two tops in Nepal - Cho Oyu and Manaslu before going to Tibet, climbing authorities said. Of the world's 14 most elevated pinnacles eight are in Nepal, five in Pakistan and one in Tibet.

Ascending specialists state scarcely more than three dozen mountain climbers have ascended all the 14 tops up until now. The record for the quickest rising was recently held by South Korean Kim Chang-ho who finished all "8,000ers" in seven years, 10 months and six days, said blogger Alan Arnette.

Purja, who presented with British exceptional powers as a Gorkha from Nepal, in May snapped a picture showing scores of climbers connected up on the summit edge of Mount Everest, which turned into a web sensation uncovering the congested road in the supposed passing zone of the world's most noteworthy mountain.

That photo drove the Nepali government to draft another arrangement of climbing rules planned for diminishing the group on Everest, following analysis by climbers who said it was undermining the wellbeing and giving licenses to any individual who paid $11,000 (8,559.65 pounds).
