Zakia Ahmad becomes first Afghan woman to scale Mount Everest

Supporters described the achievement as a symbol of resilience, courage, and determination for women, refugees, and displaced communities worldwide.

Mount Everest, located in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and China’s Tibet region, continues to attract climbers from around the world despite its extreme altitude and dangerous conditions.

Meanwhile, Pakistani mountaineer Salman Ateeque also successfully summited Mount Everest on Thursday, marking another major milestone for Pakistan’s mountaineering community, the Alpine Club of Pakistan said.

The accomplishment came exactly one year after Ateeque climbed Mount Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest mountain, with Alpine Club Vice President Karrar Haidri praising his “determination, courage, and passion” as an inspiration for young adventurers across Pakistan.
