Kathmandu, Sep 25 (PTI): An Indian woman was among the 26 climbers who successfully scaled the world's eighth-highest peak, Mt. Manaslu, on Wednesday in Nepal.

Dwarka Vishwanath Dokhe climbed the highest peak in the Gorkha District with nationals of over a dozen countries.

"Twenty-six climbers, including 12 Nepali Sherpa guides and an Indian national stood atop the 8,163-metre mountain Wednesday morning," Pemba Sherpa, a staff at 8K Expeditions, said.

Climbers continued their summit push heading to the peak of Mt. Manaslu as they found a fair window, he added.

Vladislav Chernyshov, a Russian national, climbed Mt. Manaslu without using bottled oxygen support.
