There have been more than 300 deaths in the Everest region since records of mountain climbing began a century ago .
This year was the first time that authorities set a goal to retrieve five bodies from the so-called death zone’ The team subsisted on water, chocolate and sattu, a mixture of chickpea, barley and wheat flour.
It took 24 hours non-stop to bring the body presumed to belong to the Czech climber to the nearest camp, which is just about 3.5km away.
The team then spent another 13 hours getting the body down to another lower camp.
Next stop for the bodies was a journey to Kathmandu by helicopter, but the crew was stuck in the town of Namche for five days because of bad weather.
They arrived in the capital safely on 4 June .
The process of identifying the other two bodies is ongoing.
