50 Hours of Holding Our Breath. Our Prayers Are Still with Nims Dai & Team.
It has now been over 50 hours since a massive avalanche struck Broad Peak in the Karakoram range at approximately 9:00 AM (Pakistan Standard Time) on Thursday, July 30.
Before pushing for the summit, Nirmal "Nims" Purja shared a humble prayer:
"Broad Peak, I ask only one thing of you—may I return safely."
As rescue teams and Pakistan Army Aviation helicopters continue search operations in extreme weather, our thoughts and deepest prayers remain with Nims Dai (), the dedicated Nepali high-altitude guides, and all remaining missing team members.
Nims has taught us all that 'Nothing is Impossible.' We hold onto hope for a miracle in the Karakoram.
Deepest condolences to the families of the climbers who lost their lives in this tragedy. Stay strong. 🙏🇳🇵
