Indian Teams Summit Khangchendzonga Amid Controversy

Indian Teams Summit Khangchendzonga Amid Controversy

Indian climbers have reached the top of the world's third-highest mountain, Khangchendzonga, on the border of India and Nepal.

The climb was part of a project to put the Indian flag on the highest mountains.

The team was successful, with all climbers reaching the summit.

However, some local people are unhappy because the mountain is very sacred to them.

They believe that the climb disregards their requests to call off the expedition.

The teams climbed from the Nepal side, as the other side is too sacred to climb.
