Dawa Sherpa, a 52-year-old Nepali guide, survived for six days on Mount Everest after being presumed dead. Initially last seen descending the mountain, he ran out of oxygen and was forced to stay behind. During his ordeal, he did not eat for the first two days, then resorted to chewing ice and later found chocolates in his pocket, which he consumed. He was discovered crawling toward Base Camp by a clean-up team from the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, who were surprised to find him alive after his family had started funeral rites in Kathmandu. Dawa was airlifted to HAMS Hospital, where he received treatment for dehydration and frostbite. His daughter expressed disbelief at the news of his survival, confirming his identity through photos. The mountaineering community has celebrated his survival as a miracle, highlighting the extraordinary resilience of Sherpas, who are renowned for their strength and endurance in harsh mountain conditions.
