Nepal’s Sherpa climbers and guides including Mingma Sherpa, Tashi Lakpa Sherpa and 50 other Sherpas had assisted the team in climbing Mt. Manaslu.

The successful climb of the Mt Lobuche was the first ascent of the season.

The Nepal government had allowed the team to climb two mountains of Nepal – Mt Manaslu and Mt Lobuche.

On August 30, a cabinet meeting had decided to allow the Bahraini Prince to come to Nepal via a chartered flight by following all the safety standards determined by the Ministry of Health and Population.

This was the first group receiving the permission from the Nepal government to climb mountains of Nepal following the lockdown imposed on March 24.
