The bodies of five climbers, including British-Nepali record-breaker Nirmal Purja, have landed in Islamabad after an avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak on Saturday killed 10 people.
 
Their fellow guides said their deaths deal a devastating blow to Nepal's mountaineering community.
 
Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah said "the tragic death of six Nepalese and four other foreign climbers, including world record holder Nirmal Purja, in the Karakoram mountain range of Pakistan, has shocked us".
