Bangladeshi mountaineer Nurunnahar Nimni has successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest, becoming the third woman from Bangladesh and the eighth Bangladeshi overall to achieve the feat. She reached the peak at 5:24 a.m. Nepal time on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and hoisted the national flag. The achievement was confirmed by the Bangladesh Mountaineering and Trekking Club.

Nimni was the only climber representing Bangladesh in this year’s expedition. She began her journey from Dhaka to Nepal on April 11 and resumed her final summit push on May 25 after facing several rounds of adverse weather. Her successful ascent marks the first Bangladeshi woman to conquer Everest in 14 years, following Nishat Majumder and Wasfia Nazreen in 2012.

Bangladesh’s Everest history began with Musa Ibrahim in 2010, followed by M A Muhit, Nishat Majumder, Wasfia Nazreen, Sajal Khaled, Babar Ali, and Ikramul Hasan Shakil. Nimni’s success continues this legacy of Bangladeshi mountaineering achievements on the world’s highest peak.
