People wait to welcome Hari Budha Magar, former Gurkha veteran and double amputee climber who scaled Mount Everest, upon arrival at the airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, Tuesday, May 23, 2023. The former Gurkha veteran had lost both his legs in Afghanistan when he accidentally stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2010. Magar, who was a soldier in the Gurkha regiment, was born in a remote mountain village in Nepal and later was recruited by the British army. He now lives with his family in Canterbury, England.
