Besides snow, she blazed the trail for all females of the Baltistan region and proving that they can touch skies if given an opportunity. Blazing mountain as well as social trails for the hard-working and marginalized females of the Baltistan region. The lady deserves a salute and huge respect.

So proud of this young lady, Amina Shigri, flanked by her father and brother on the summit, Khosar Gang peak. Do you know what breaking a barrier means? Exactly this is what it looks like. More power to you and wish u a great career ahead.

While speaking to the local media, Amina stated that she wants to go as high as a woman can. I will go to even 8ers and will prove to the world that a women’s will is undefeatable.

The journey of Khosar Gang Peak (6401m) was not easy. When it comes to the support of a lion-hearted brother and father stands behind, it became as easy as a baby play. Amina further added that I followed my father and brother along the way to achieve this feat.

“I am very grateful to my father, brother, and especially my uncle Rasool for constant support throughout the journey. Very thankful to the villagers, they also supported us logistically and morally. I am very happy today, but I never saw K2 due to bad weather which remained unfulfilled”, Amina Shigri.
