Record-setting Nepali double above-the-knee amputee climber gets warm welcome

Hari Budha Magar, the first double above-the-knee amputee to ascend Mount Everest received a heroic welcome as he arrived back at Kathmandu on Tuesday. Rising out of a van, relatives and family members welcomed the 43-year-old record-holding retired Gurkha at Tribhuwan International Airport of Kathmandu. Last week, Magar created the history as first double above-the-knee amputee to scale the 8848.86 meters tall Mount Everest- the Highest peak in the world.
