NIM principal suffers high-altitude stroke after scaling Everest
Uttarkashi: Col Anshuman Bhadauria, principal of Uttarkashi-based Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM), suffered a high-altitude stroke near Camp 3 while descending after successfully summiting Mt Everest on May 23.
He was part of a seven-member team from NIM, Jawahar Institute of Mountaineering (JIM), and Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI), Darjeeling.
The team had set off on the Everest expedition on April 2, as per sources. It was while they were descending from the peak that Col Bhadauria fell ill. Fellow climbers helped him reach Camp 2, from where he was airlifted to Kathmandu and subsequently shifted to New Delhi for advanced medical care.
Vishal Ranjan, an NIM representative, confirmed that Bhadauria is currently being treated at the Military Hospital in Delhi and is showing signs of recovery.
