Achievements are important and I have revelled in a number of good adventures, but far more worthwhile are the tasks I have been able to carry out for my friends in the Himalayas. – Sir Edmund Hillary

Sir Edmund Hillary
20 July 1919 - 11 January 2008

Sir Edmund Hillary will be remembered for ever as a legendary mountaineer, a great adventurer and explorer on earth, a great Philanthropist amongst the Nepalese Mountaineering Community, a great crusader for preserving mountain environment for the posterity. Above all being a great friend of Nepal he always stood by the side of Nepal at times of need. On his sad demise, Nepal has lost a true friend, world has lost a living model of endurance and bravery, thus, he shall be cherished for ever by us and the generations to come.

May his great soul rest in peace.
Deepest condolence to the bereaved family.
