On October 14, six Bulgarian mountaineers, led Zheko Vutev, set off for the Himalayas. Their goal is to climb the beautiful peak Ama Dablam in Nepal, which rises 6,812 meters above sea level, the BNR-Stara Zagora reported. The expedition had to take place two years ago, but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bulgarians climbed Ama Dablam for the first time in November 2009. Zheko Vutev was part of the expedition.
