Lebanese mountaineer Nelly Attar has just made history as the first Arab woman to summit Kangchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain at 8,586 meters. It’s a major milestone for both her and Arab mountaineering.

Climbing One of the Toughest Mountains on Earth

Kangchenjunga isn’t just tall — it’s massive. Towering just behind Mount Everest and K2, this Himalayan giant is known for its extreme conditions and dangerous routes. It’s the kind of climb that pushes even the most experienced mountaineers to their limits.

But that didn’t stop Nelly. With years of training and a whole lot of determination, she made it to the top — showing incredible strength, focus, and resilience along the way.

A Record-Breaking Moment

This wasn’t just any climb. By reaching the summit of Kangchenjunga, Nelly became the first Arab woman to ever stand on top of it. It’s a milestone that speaks volumes — not only about her athletic ability, but about her courage and perseverance in the face of one of the world’s most challenging climbs.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Nelly’s achievement is more than a personal victory. It’s a powerful message to women and young people across the Arab world: no dream is too big, and no mountain is too high. She’s breaking barriers and paving the way for others to dream fearlessly — whether they’re climbing literal peaks or chasing personal goals of their own.
