KC, a local of Jaimini Municipality-4, Sarkuwa, shared that he has completed all necessary preparations to reach atop Everest. He has urged all helping hands to cooperate with him financially to cherish his dream to climb Everest. 


“Last time I was stopped from climbing the summit further due to strong wind. Otherwise I would have been able to successfully scale the highest peak on earth,” he shared. 


So far, three visually impaired people have climbed to the summit of Mt Everest since 2001. KC has already climbed three 6,000-meter peaks including Island Peak, Mera Peak, and Lobuche Peak.
