News Desk

Islamabad: NailaKiani and Samina Baig became the first Pakistani women to scale the majestic Nanga Parbat on Sunday, standing tall at an inspirational height of 8,125 meters.

“Naila climbed Nanga Parbat at 10:18 a.m. today,” said Alpine Club of Pakistan Secretary Karrar Haidri, adding that “she has now ascended seven of the enormous 8,000-metre peaks on the planet, establishing her as one of the most talented climbers of our time.”

Naila’s feat was followed by Samina Baig, who, along with compatriot mountaineer Rizwan Dad, summited the peak at 11:08 a.m.

The legendary Everest, the difficult K2, the commanding Lhotse, the perilous Annapurna, the elusive G1, and the G2 are just a few of the mountains she has conquered before.

Numerous mountaineers and adventure fans worldwide are inspired by NailaKiani’s unwavering resolve, unmatched abilities, and unwavering attitude.

“Given the number of lives lost during this summit, I was filled with fear yet fully determined to accomplish my mission,” stated Naila, a Dubai-based Pakistani banker and amateur boxer.

“It brings me immense joy to have once again brought global pride to my beloved country,” Naila, a mother of two daughters, added.

“Naila serves as a bright example of how people can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles,” Haidri added.

Meanwhile, eight other climbers also made it to the top of the peak. Eid Muhammad, Ahmed Baig, Waqar Ali, Saeed Karim, Liaqat Karim, and Shah Daulat ascended the mountain without supplemental oxygen. Wajid Nagri and Suzzane also climbed the peak.
