He was part of the team that successfully achieved the first-ever winter summit on Nanga Parbat in 2016.

He had successfully climbed four eight-thousanders in a calendar year and a total of eight in his career. Sadpara and his son, Sajid Sadpara, who had climbed K2 in 2019, teamed up with Icelandic mountaineer John Snorri Sigurjónsson, and Chilean mountaineer Juan Pablo Mohr Prieto, for a joint K2 ascent, leaving the highest camp on the evening of February 4th, 2021. Sajid had to come back because of a technical issue leaving the others at the Bottleneck, close to the summit. His father, Snorri and Mohr kept climbing up, but they didn't come back by night as planned. A rescue mission with two army helicopters was organized on February 6th. The three climbers are still missing.
