54.6 Cm Nepalese Man Affirmed World’s Shortest Man

Nepal, the dear abode of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, has also added the world’s shortest man as part of their height-related collectibles.

A Guinness World Records team measured Chandra Bahadur Dangi at 21.5 inches (54.60cm), declaring the 72-year-old even shorter than the previous titleholder, Junrey Balawing, from Philippines, who stood at 23.5 inches at the age of 18 last year.

"The good news is that Chandra Bahadur Dangi is the world's shortest living man," the Telegraph quoted Guinness Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday as saying after measurements were taken.

"If he is really 72 years old he is the oldest person to be awarded the shortest-man record," Glenday said.

Glenday also said that Dangi was also the shortest person ever measured by the Guinness World Records.

From a poor and uneducated family in a remote part of Nepal, Dangi said he had never heard of Mount Everest and was unaware of the world record title before a timber merchant visited his remote village last month and decided to measure him.

His diminutive size has since made him a celebrity in the impoverished nation of 26.6 million people and he took a plane for the first time last week to travel from his village, Rimkholi, 167 miles west of Kathmandu, to meet the Guinness World Records officials in the capital.

Dangi, whose parents died when he was still in his teens, lives with his brother, he said, who has no desire to marry.

His family has no idea when he stopped growing as many Nepali villages still lack basic health care. Dangi has never seen a doctor in his life. Five of his brothers and two sisters are of normal size.

He mostly stays at home, needing assistance to move around, preparing head straps used by villagers to carry loads.

Before Balawing, who was declared the shortest man in the world in June last year, another Nepali man, Khagnedra Thapa Magar, who stood 26.4 inches tall, held the title.
