the world celebrate this mega event of Mt.Everest, two Pakistani brother &
sister carried the green national flag of Pakistan and Samina Baig the
first Pakistani woman and youngest Muslim to hoist it on top of the world.

event and Samina Baig made history becoming first Pakistani woman to summit
Mt.Everest on May 19.2013. the expedition was for Gender Equality and Women
Empowerment through Adventure sports.
While reaching the top yet the siblings are in quest to
touch yet another impossible, the siblings are aiming to reach the seven
summits on seven continents for Gender equality and women empowerment, this
great feat in Adventure history is yet going to be remarkable, as to date no
siblings have reached the summit of the Seven summits, as to date there are
almost 200 people have reached the seven summits but any Pakistani and no
any siblings have attempted it from the rest of the world . This
adventure is remarkable for the two siblings being Pakistani’s and making yet
another history!

the people and connecting people through Mountains, this expedition also
aims to raise awareness about Global warming and Climate change.
