KATHMANDU - Eleven Nepali climbers reached the top of Mount Everest on Saturday , the first of hundreds of climbers expected to summit the world's highest mountain from its southern approach in the coming weeks.

"We have received information that the rope-fixing team of eleven climbers has reached the peak at around 6.55pm Nepal time," tourism department official Bhisma Raj Bhattarai told AFP. Most Everest hopefuls are each escorted by a Nepali guide, meaning more than 600 climbers will tread the same path to the top of the 8,849m-high peak in the coming weeks.
