China's Zhang Hong, 46, has scaled the world's highest peak from the Nepalese side, becoming the first blind man in Asia and the third in the world to climb Mount Everest.

"No matter if you're disabled or normal...whether you've lost your eyesight, hands or legs...it doesn't matter as long as you have the right mind you can always complete something that others can't," Zhang told Reuters.

Zhang completed the climb up the 8,849-meter-high mountain on May 24 and returned to a base camp last Thursday.

Born in Chongqing, southwest China, Zhang lost his sight at the age of 21 after suffering from glaucoma.
