Bangladeshi female mountaineer Nurunnahar Nimni has successfully scaled the summit of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, scripting a glorious new chapter in the country’s mountaineering history.

Nimni reached the highest point of the world today (27 May) at 5:24am (Nepal local time), where she proudly hoisted the red and green national flag of Bangladesh.

The historic achievement was officially confirmed by Ang Temba Sherpa on behalf of the expedition management agency, 8K Expedition.

According to an official press release issued by Ikramul Hasan Shakil, an Everest summitteer himself and the current president of the Bangla Mountaineering and Trekking Club, Nimni’s final ascent followed a meticulous high-altitude itinerary.

She commenced her final summit push on 25 May, moving upwards from Camp-2, which is situated at an altitude of 6,400 metres, to spend the night at Camp-3 at an elevation of 7,200 metres.

Early the following morning, yesterday, she departed from Camp-3 and arrived at Camp-4 by 2:30pm.

After taking necessary rest at Camp-4 until the evening, Nimni launched her ultimate journey toward the peak, trekking through highly hazardous and hostile terrain all night alongside her expedition partners, Dawa Nupu Sherpa and Lakpa Thinduk Sherpa, before safely reaching the apex at dawn.

The successful expedition caps off weeks of intense preparation for the climber, who had originally departed Dhaka for Nepal on 11 April.

The historic Everest expedition was organised by the Bangla Mountaineering and Trekking Club, with corporate sponsorship provided entirely by Pubali Bank PLC.

This unique achievement adds a brilliant milestone to the legacy of Bangladeshi adventure sports, bringing immense pride to the nation.
