This is the avalanche that struck between Camp Il and Camp Ill on Broad Peak, sweeping away 10 climbers during their summit push. The tragedy triggered a major search and rescue operation in Pakistan’s Karakoram region.
As of the latest update, four bodies have been recovered, while efforts continue to locate the remaining missing climbers amid challenging weather and dangerous mountain conditions.

Nirmal Purja was married to Suchi Purja, a dental hygiene therapist, business partner, and crucial pillar of support behind his record-breaking mountaineering career.
The couple married in 2006 and share a daughter named Himani.
A gurkha herself she managed logistics, administration, finances, and media from the UK during Nimsdai’s dangerous high-altitude projects like Project Possible.
We saw her alongside her husband in the acclaimed Netflix documentary 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, which highlighted the personal sacrifices and anxiety behind his historic climbs.
Suchi is a dental hygienist and therapist and later served as a director for her husband’s commercial and charitable ventures, including the Nimsdai Foundation.

Our team captured this footage yesterday, July 30, right before tragedy struck. We were watching from base camp and could clearly see the 10 international climbers—including world-famous mountaineer Nirmal “Nims” Purja—pushing up the mountain.
Suddenly, a massive avalanche triggered above them. After the snow cleared, we scanned the upper slopes with horror. No one was visible anymore. It’s a big tragedy on Broad Peak.

Broadpeak ni gunung apa?
- ia gunung no.12 tertinggi di dunia, 8051m
- ia salah satu dari 14 puncak tertinggi dunia melebihi 8000m
- ada 5 puncak 8000m di Pakistan termasuk K2 & Broadpeak. Selain Gasherbrum i , Gasherbrum ii dan Nanga Parbat
- ada 7 puncak 8000m di Nepal termasuk Everest dan 2 puncak di Tibet
- Broadpeak bersebelahan dengan K2. Jika anda trekking ke K2 basecamp, anda akan lalu di Broadpeak basecamp. Jarak antara basecamp ialah 1-2 jam berjalan
- Video ini pemandangan dari khemah saya di K2 basecamp menghadap Broadpeak
- Kami boleh nampak pendaki Broadpeak yang mendaki ke Camp 3 dari sini
- Di antara 14 puncak 8000m, ramai pendaki mengatakan Broadpeak antara yang tidak terlalu susah (less technical) dan kosnya lebih rendah berbanding yang lain. Namun ia tetap sangat mencabar dan berbahaya
- Ramai pendaki mencuba Broadpeak sebagai gunung 8000m pertama mereka sebelum mendaki gunung yang lebih sukar
- Namun kesemua gunung ada cabaran dan risiko tersendiri. Tragedi boleh berlaku dimana-mana sahaja
Sama-sama kita doakan pendaki yang ditimpa musibah di Broadpeak semalam
Some goodbyes leave a silence no words can ever fill. Miss you, Nims Dai , Muhammad ali sadpara 💔🕊️

I Am an Eyewitness to the Broad Peak Avalanche
I was there when the devastating avalanche struck Broad Peak, and I witnessed the tragic incident with my own eyes. It was a heartbreaking and terrifying moment that I will never forget.
In this post, I have shared a photograph taken before the avalanche and another taken after the avalanche. These images show the dramatic change and the devastating impact of what happened on the mountain.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy, especially the families of those who lost their lives. May Allah grant them patience and mercy. 🤲

A dark day on Broad Peak💔
Standing under Broad Peak just a few weeks ago, the weight of this accident is heavy on me. It doesn’t feel like a headline as it might to many. This is a real place, and these are real people, inspiring people.
My prayers go out to the friends and families who lost their loved ones.
