Nanda Khat Attempt. Nanda Khat (21,690 feet) was attempted by a team sponsored by Giri Vihar, Bombay and led by Professor A. R. Chandekar. As they were trying to reconnoiter to Camp II on May 31, an avalanche in the Pindari Icefall killed D. C. Arora and Ramdas S. Prabhu. Five others escaped with minor injuries. The expedition then gave up its attempt.
