A diverse team of Nepali women, to draw attention to promote Nepal as a priority destination
in the world, has now embarked on a new journey: ‘Himalayan Women to Seven Summits’. Spreading the message of ‘Unity in Diversity’, they made their successful expedition
to the top of the world, Mt Everest, in May 2008.
“The purpose was to increase Nepali women’s participation in mountaineering as only seven Nepali women had scaled Everest before that,” said Shailee Basnet, team member of the First Inclusive Women Sagarmatha Expedition 2008 Spring (FWISE).
The team’s success has marked history not only in Nepal
but worldwide as FWISE became the most successful women’s expedition to Everest.
