KATMANDU, 17 April, 2021 (TON): Creating a record feat on the 8,091-metre tall peak, six Nepali women have reached the top of Mt. Annapurna, the Himalayan nation's Department of Tourism and an expedition organizing company said.
On Friday, Purnima Shrestha, Sharmila Tamang, Dawa Phuti Sherpa, Dawa Yangjung, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, and Maya Sherpa became the first Nepali women to top the mountain, affirmed by Bhisma Raj Bhattarai, section officer at the mountaineering section of the tourism department.
Annapurna is considered among the world's most treacherous mountains to climb due to its extremely steep south face, a wall of rock that rises 3,000 meters.
However, a total of 68 climbers, including the mountain guides, reached the top of Annapurna on Friday, which is the record high on the mountain in a single day, said Mingma Sherpa, chairperson of Seven Summit Trek,
