Nepal Climber to Make Unique Attempt on Everest (2024)

Kiran Khadka from Nepal with a unique summit attempt on Everest in 2024:

He is using our Forty Below® Bottle Boots™ and our Forty Below® Camp Booties™.

Kiran is from the Surkhet district which is in Karnali Province in Nepa, and currently lives in Colorado. If he summits, he will be the first person from Karnali to ever summit Everest!  Karnali province is the most remote, undeveloped, and underprivileged province in Nepal. Tourism is the main source of revenue for Nepal. Beside Dolpa district, no other districts in the Karnali province are able to attract enough tourists as these are remote places with no tourism infrastructure, but do have pure natural beauty and landscapes worthy of tourism.  …“In the last few years, this thought of representing the community in some way and representing the region where I am originally from has been brewing in my mind. I thought the best way would be to achieve something in Nepal representing Karnali province that aligns with my passion which is mountaineering. If I can achieve these goals, I think it would provide a sense of pride for the region and its people.”
