Nepal has banned two Indian climbers and their team leader from carrying out any mountaineering expeditions in the country for six years after a probe found that they had faked their Mount Everest summit in 2016, according to a media report on Thursday.

Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami received expedition certificates during the spring season of 2016 without successfully climbing Everest, the Himalayan Times reported.

Both the climbers had received the certificates of climbing the 8,848.86m mountain by submitting false details to the department of tourism.
