Nepal's Deputy Chief of Mission Lalita Silwal on Friday inaugurated the three-day photography exhibition ‘Sea to Summit’, which is showcasing the photographs by two inspiring Mt. Everest summiteers — Ikramul Hasan Shakil from Bangladesh and Tashi Gyalzen Sherpa from Nepal.
Speaking on the occasion, Silwal congratulated Shakil and Sherpa and stressed that their joint ascent was reflective of the enduring values of courage, determination and resilience shared by both Nepali and Bangladeshi peoples.
Shakil made history by trekking 1,372 kilometers from the Bay of Bengal in Cox’s Bazar to the summit of Mt. Everest in just 84 days.
Meanwhile, Sherpa achieved a milestone by scaling Mount Everest four times within a span of just 15 days.
The exhibition is being organized by the Bangladeshi Mountaineering Trekking Club, from July 11 to 13 at the Bangladesh National Museum in Dhaka.
