Three Nepali sisters set a Guinness World Record for the most sisters to climb Mt Everest together

KATHMANDU,

Three Nepali sister climbers, who have reached the summit of Mt Everest, have set a Guinness World Record for the most sisters to climb Everest together.

Dawa Futi Sherpa, Tshering Namgya Sherpa and Nima Jangmu Sherpa reached the top of Mt Everest in May 2021. They named their expedition project, ‘Three Sisters on Seven Summits’.

According to the Guinness World Records, one of the sisters, Dawa Futi Sherpa said, “Our grandfather and father were climbers. We want to dedicate our Mount Everest summit to our late father, Dorjee Sherpa, who used to be a climbing Sherpa and guide.” Similarly, the sisters added that their brother, Mingma Gyaljie Sherpa has climbed Mt Everest six times and helped them prepare for their attempt.

Mt Everest was the first peak of their project and their next destination is said to be Russia’s Mount Elbrus.
