Sheikha Asma conquers Nanga Parbat Summit in Pakistan

Doha Qatari mountaineering legend Sheikha Asma bint Thani Al Thani has reached the summit of Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, adding yet another remarkable achievement to her extraordinary record. At 8,126 meters, Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest peak in the world. With this latest accomplishment, Sheikha Asma has now successfully climbed 9 of the 14 mountains globally that exceed 8,000 meters in elevation. Currently in Pakistan, Sheikha Asma is focused on her next challenge—reaching the summits of Gasherbrum 1, Gasherbrum 2, and Broad Peak. Upon completion, only the peaks of Shishapangma and Cho Oyu will remain, positioning her to become the first woman in history to conquer all 14 peaks over 8,000 meters and achieve the "Explorers Grand Slam"—a groundbreaking milestone in mountaineering. Beyond her remarkable climbs, Sheikha Asma's expeditions serve as a platform for raising awareness of important global issues. Through her journeys, she aims to encourage women and youth in the region to overcome barriers and follow their dreams. Sheikha Asma has partnered with several international organizations, including Ooredoo and the UNHCR, to advance humanitarian and social causes through her adventurous expeditions.
