The first double-above-knee amputee to climb Mt. Vinson and complete 7 Summits to raise awareness of disability and inspire others to climb their own mountains and conquer their dreams.
While many will be celebrating Christmas and New Year, I will be heading to Antarctica, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on the earth to climb the tallest mountain in Antarctica Mt. Vinson(4,892m)."
To date I have already completed 6 summits:
1.Mt. Blanc (4,810m) – 13th August 2019
2. Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895m) – 8th January 2020
3. Mt. Everest (8,849m) – 19th May 2023 WR
4. Denali, North America (6,190m) - 28th June 2024 WR
5. Aconcagua, South America (6,961m) - 22nd February 2025
6. Carstensz Pyramid (Puncak Jaya), Oceania (4,884m) - 18th October 2025 WR
7. Mt. Vinson, Antarctica (4,892m) - scheduled at the end of December 2025
After becoming the world’s first double above-knee amputee to summit Mt. Everest on 19th May 2023, I decided to complete the 7 Summits (the highest peaks on each continent) to make further awareness of disability around the world. I realised that just climbing Mt. Everest was not going to be enough on its own. I believe that to change perception on disability it requires lifetime commitment; inspiring other people with disability to do whatever they love and spearheading sustained awareness campaigns. Therefore, I have dedicated my life to spreading awareness of disability until my last breath.
By January 2026, I will climb Mt. Vinson and complete all the 7 Summits. In doing so, I will become the first double above-knee amputee to summit Mt. Everest, Denali, Carstensz Pyramid, Mt. Vinson and the 7 Summits. We will create 5 new world records, all of which will be recorded in the Guiness World Records. But the dream and purpose can’t be measured, they are taller than the Mt. Everest and wider than the Universe.
Everything that has been achieved so far wouldn’t have happened without your support. I know that some of you have already helped, but this final climb is not going to be possible without further support. As such, I ask you to give any support you may be able to in order to help me reach the final summit.
We made Everest possible which seemed like an impossible task at one point. We raised over £300,000, creating history by successfully summiting Everest. But most importantly, we created awareness of disability and showed that anything is possible. I hope no government in the world will ban people with disability again from pursuing their dreams.
I know that we can do it again. This is not for me, this is for the people with disability around the world, to give them hope and optimism in life. I don’t want people with disability to feel like I did. I became disabled at the age of 31. I felt like I was a burden to my family and the planet. My hope is that these people don’t waste years of their lives like me, thinking that their life is finished, not knowing what to do, abusing alcohol, developing depression and trying to take their own lives. I do not want any person with disability to go through this.
I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of when I was growing in the remote part of West Nepal. I would be happy to die tomorrow - apart from leaving my family and friends behind. All we have in the world is thanks to our past generations, and, as such, it is our responsibility to make a better world to live in for our future generations. This is the reason why I am climbing mountains. It is not easy without legs, every step is like a torturous journey, but I climb it because I believe that my journey will give hope and optimism to some people and inspire them to achieve at least one step further in their lives.
So please help me to help others. Together, we can make a better world. Even if we can change one person's life for the better, we should do it. There are many ways to help the campaign;
Donate if you can £1, $1 or 1 Rupee. If 100,000 people donate £1 each, we will reach our goal.
If you like what I’m doing, please share my story among your network, with friends and on social media. You never know who is reading and it will greatly help spread the word.
If you think someone can help or align my story with their business or organisation values, please forward my story and information to them. If you are an influencer or journalist, please tell my story to your followers and audiences. Every little helps.
If anyone would like to help and support, please contact me or my team.
Together with your help and support, we will make greater awareness of disability around the world and inspire others to climb their own mountain and conquer their dreams. We will positively change the way people with disabilities are perceived and, crucially, how they perceive themselves.
Any funds raised over my expedition costs will go to my charity partners. They are Blesma, The Gurkha Welfare Trust, On Course Foundation, Pilgrim Bandits and Team Forces.
Thank you for your support.
