An Army veteran who lost both his legs in Afghanistan has reached the top of Mount Everest in an attempt to make mountaineering history.

Hari Budha Magar, a former soldier in the Gurkha regiment, set out to be the first double above-the-knee amputee to scale the mountain.

Hari, 43, who lives in Canterbury, took on the challenge to “inspire others” and change perceptions of disability.

He reached the summit at about 15:00 BST on Friday, his team said.

Over a satellite phone call, he told them it was “harder than I could have ever imagined.”

He said they just had to “carry on and push for the top, no matter how much it hurt or how long it took.”

Hari lost his legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010.
