KATHMANDU, MAY 11

Qatari royal family member Sheikha Asma Al Thani among 18 climbers from Satori Adventures today scaled Mt Makalu.

According to Rishi Bhandari, Managing Director at Satori Adventures, Al Thani reached the summit point of Makalu completing her 8th 800er. "At least seven foreign climbers including Al Thani and 11 Sherpa climbers stood atop Makalu being part of the Satori Makalu Expedition 2025," Bhandari said.

Foreign climbers including Lukasz Marek Lubelski, Daniela Murinova and Olena Karlova as well as Pema Sherpa, Ngima Sherpa, Nurbu Sherpa and Dawa Sherpa among others scaled Makalu as they found a fair weather window, Bhandari said, adding that all climbers were descending to lower camps safely.
