A 15-member mountaineering team comprising UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal's son Prakash climbed Mt. Everest on Saturday. 
The members of the expedition named "Lumbini-Sagarmatha Peace Mission 2012" reached the Mt. Everest, the highest peak of the world at 8.00 am Saturday morning.
Prakash hoisted Nepal´s national flag and the Maoist party´s flag at the peak of the Everest, RSS quoted former chairman of the Nepal Mountaineering Association Ang Chhiring Sherpa as saying.
The team had left capital on April 4 to scale Mt. Everest.
