Please extend your support to the family of Major Shahi in his funeral services tomorrow. Mr.Kisendra Shahi (October 10, 1962 – October 29, 2006) was a remarkable man with unparallel achievements.

Major Shahi was in the Nepal Army and was highly recognized (1995). He had achieved basic pilot training FAA from Fort Worth (1982); and had achieved his Advanced pilot training from French Air Force and Royal UK. He had performed his famed mountain rescue in 1993 and was awarded Gajendra Moksha Padak by Late King Birendra. In 1992 Major Shahi was also decorated with Gorkha Dakshin Bahu. In addition, Major Shahi had saved the then Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari with a helicopter rescue in 1995 and was decorated with Kirtimaya Nepal Shreepad for that admirable feat. Mr. Kisendra Shahi is a national hero who wrote Nepal's name in the Guinness Book of World Records for performing a highly improbable rescue and beating technical failure of a helicopter to be the sole pilot who survived himself and saved his crew.
