This team is made-up of all Nepali females - setting records for many Nepali female firsts as well - first Brahmin, Chhetri, Gurung and Danuwar female summiters. Not only did they have to fight extra hard to raise the funds and get their permit to to even attempt the Everest bid, it now looks like they will have to fight to get the recognition that they deserve for this historic feat.

Don't know why many of us can not afford do this even we are physically fit for it! Sure it's going to cost to shoot up above the sky, hope the cost of submitting everest goes down so more people go up there! Everest should be submitted by more people on the planet.
