How a Gurkha (Nimsdai) Became the World's Greatest Mountaineer Nimsdai's Final Climb (Documentary)

Nimsdai (Nirmal Purja) – the Gurkha soldier who climbed all 14 of the world's 8000m peaks in just 6 months and 6 days, led the first-ever winter ascent of K2, and lost his life in the Broad Peak avalanche on July 30, 2026. This is his full story – and his last climb. In this cinematic documentary we tell the life of Nirmal "Nims" Purja: a boy from Dana village in Nepal's Myagdi district, the first Gurkha to join Britain's elite Special Boat Service (SBS), the man behind Project Possible and Netflix's "14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible", and the mountaineer who broke record after record on Everest, K2 and the Himalaya. We also cover what happened on Broad Peak in Pakistan's Karakoram – how the avalanche struck between Camp 2 and Camp 3, why his team was still on the mountain, and the legacy he leaves behind. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Broad Peak, July 30, 2026 0:53 A Boy From Dana 1:48 The Soldier (Gurkha & SBS) 2:54 Project Possible – 14 Peaks in 6 Months 4:52 Winter on K2 5:45 Beyond the Records 7:00 The Last Climb – Broad Peak Avalanche 8:52 The Legacy 🕯️ In memory of Nirmal Purja, Kili Pemba Sherpa, Pur Bahadur Gurung, Nima Sherpa, Nawang Thindu Sherpa, Gyalu Sherpa, Sohail Sakhi, Mallory Geis, Nadhira Al Harthy and Wang Zhong. 🔔 Subscribe to Unseen Docks for more true stories of extraordinary people and places. 📚 SOURCES Wikipedia ("Nirmal Purja", "2026 Broad Peak avalanche"); ExplorersWeb; CNN (30 Jul 2026); BBC News; Nepali Times; Nepal News.
