The mountaineering team of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has successfully scaled two unnamed mountains in Eastern Ladakh and named one of them 'Nurbu Wangdus Peak', in memory of ITBP mountaineer late Nurbu Wangdus, who died during an avalanche in October 2019, an ITBP official said here on Saturday.

"The 20-member expedition team, including four women, was led by ITBP IG of the North-West sector, Lhari Dorjee Lhatoo, which also comprised members of the Ladakh Police. The team successfully summited the twin peaks at a height of 6,250 metres and 6,099 metres on Eastern Ladakh borders on September 28 and October 6, respectively," the force said in a statement.
