Route Notes	According to debriefing in the Ministry expedition members high point is given 6100m on 26 Oct. Since Umid Bhandari of Himalayan Guides Nepal said that leader returned to Kathmandu on 28 Oct, I presume the above mentioned two members reached the high point most likely with Khatri. The team returned to Kathmandu on 2 November and all of the expedition members including Kereny left Kathmandu on 5 Nov. Hired: Dorje Khatri, Lelep-9, Taplejung, 19/12/68, Everest X2 (Umid said Khatri is Everest summiter)
