Babar Ali becomes 6th Bangladeshi to conquer Mount Everest
Babar Ali from Chittagong has become the sixth Bangladeshi to conquer Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth.He reached the summit at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday, proudly raising the red and green flag of Bangladesh. His mountaineering club, Vertical Dreamers, announced his achievement via a Facebook post, stating, “Babar is now on his way down to Camp-4.
Dr. Babar’s accomplishment has received widespread acclaim across social media. Farhan Zaman, the expedition’s chief coordinator, confirmed the ascent, saying, “Babar Ali reached the highest peak, Everest, at 8:30 a.m. local time (Nepal) and 8:45 a.m. Bangladesh time this morning.”
Dr. Babar, who left Bangladesh for Nepal on April 1, underwent extensive preparation before embarking on his Everest journey. After a week of trekking from Kathmandu to the base camp, he began his ascent.
With this successful climb, Dr. Babar now aims to conquer Mount Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world. If he succeeds, he will be the first Bangladeshi to summit Lhotse and the first to climb two 8,000-meter peaks in a single expedition, marking a significant milestone in Bangladeshi mountaineering.
