On Sep 18th, National Federation of Mongolian Mountaineers and Mongolian Air Sports Federation paid tribute to the British paraglider Steve Nash, who had been killed and robbed in Arkhangai aimag on Aug 31st, and kindled an offering lamp at National Amusement Park.
53-year-old paraglider had first visited in Mongolia ten years ago with friend Gareth aiming to do flying expedition. However, he had went back to his country due to weather conditions. Thus, he had returned this year to fulfill his goal.
He had aimed to hike and fly through the mountains from Zavkhan to Arkhangai, a distance of about 400km.
Unfortunately, his friend Gareth had experienced several heavy landings, which meant his back had been strained and he was unable to continue the expedition. Thus, Steve had decided to continue on his own and had been robbed and killed by assailants.
