A tourism ministry spokesman said Bahadur Sherchan reached the summit on Sunday morning in good health and was set to return to base camp on Monday.
Climbers have been flocking to the mountain since ascents were temporarily halted because of security concerns over the Olympic torch relay.
On Thursday, a record 86 mountaineers reached the 8,850m (29,035ft) summit.
Good weather has also meant favourable climbing conditions.
Also on Thursday, another Nepalese man, 47-year-old Appa Sherpa, broke his own record for the most ascents after climbing the mountain for the 18th time.
