Sheikha Asma Al Thani, Qatar’s adventure-loving royal, just made history as the first Qatari woman to summit Nanga Parbat, Pakistan’s deadly 8,126-meter peak famously called the “Killer Mountain.”
A Brutal Challenge to the Top
The climb wasn’t easy—she battled freezing storms, falling rocks, and ice-covered slopes. On Instagram, she called it one of her toughest climbs yet, saying it tested her limits and reminded her how fragile life can be.
Flying the Flag for Women
At the summit, she proudly waved the Qatari flag, inspiring women across the Arab world to chase big dreams—even the ones on top of the world.
One Step Closer to a Global Climbing Record
This is her ninth eight-thousander, bringing her closer to the rare achievement of summiting all 14 of the world’s tallest mountains. She’s already ticked off Everest, K2, and Makalu—so the list is shrinking fast.
