Nepal has banned a climbing team for six years after it emerged they had faked their 2016 Everest expedition.
The climb by two Indian mountaineers - Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami - had been certified by Nepal s tourism department. The two police constables had been hailed as heroes after reportedly conquering the world s highest mountain in May 2016.
However, the impressive feat only came into question three years later, after Yadav was nominated for an award.
Nepal Bans Two Climbers for Faked Everest Summit
Two Indian climbers, Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami, accused of faking a 2016 Everest summit, were banned from any further climbs by the Nepalese government By Rock and Ice | February 3rd, 2021

A 2016 Everest summit by two climbers, Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami, both of India, has been officially outed as a fake. Numerous Sherpas and climbers were skeptical of the pair’s 2016 climb at the time, but the two were still presented with the customary Everest summit certificate from Nepal.
After an extensive Indian-Nepalese investigation recently determined they only reached 27,000 feet, however, Nepal’s Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation is imposing a 10-year mountaineering ban on both Yadav and Goswami.

Mount Everest is located in the Mahalangur Himal section of the Himalayas.
A couple who used edited images to prove they had reached the summit of the worldâs highest mountain has received a ten-year ban from climbing any Nepalese mountain after being undone by some pretty basic errors. The first clue, according to
The New York Times, was that the flag in the picture was hanging limp in a place known for its wind ripping flags to shreds. Other clues included an oxygen mask not connected to the tank and a lack of snow and mountains in the reflections of their glasses.
