STORY: Family, friends and fellow climbers paid their respects on Monday (April 21) to the Sherpas who were killed in an avalanche on Mount Everest.
Monks and fellow sherpas played traditional music, while others adorned the coffins of the victims with prayer scarves and flowers at the event in Kathmandu.
At least 13 guides were killed and three are missing after the avalanche swept the Khumbu Icefall on Friday (April 18), in the deadliest accident ever on Mount Everest. The search has been called off for the remaining climbers.
As family members mourned the loss of their loved ones, a friend of one of the climbers said he was trying to build his career when he died.
At least three other guides were still hospitalised on Monday for broken limbs, ribs, blood clots and other injuries in Kathmandu hospitals.
Sherpas are an ethnic group in Nepal and have helped foreigners climb the country's towering peaks since before
