Breaking Barriers: Hari Budha Magar Conquers Everest as a Double Above-Knee Amputee

On May 19th, around 3pm, Hari stood triumphantly atop the world's tallest mountain as the first-ever double above-knee amputee to scale Mount Everest.
Thirteen years after losing his legs in Afghanistan, Hari has demonstrated that disability is not a barrier to reaching the 8,849-meter peak.


Hari's remarkable climb was made possible by a team of exceptional Nepalese climbers, led by expedition leader Krish Thapa. At the summit, Hari exclaimed, "We did it!" as a tribute to and acknowledgment of the collective effort that enabled this achievement.


Through a satellite phone call facilitated by NSSL Global GmbH to his team at the basecamp, he added, "It was tough, much harder than I could have ever imagined. We persevered and pushed forward, regardless of the pain or duration. If I can conquer the world's highest peak, then anyone, regardless of their disability, can achieve their dreams. No matter how big your aspirations or how challenging your disability, with the right mindset, anything is possible."


"When the going got tough, the thought of my incredible family and all those who supported me in reaching the mountain propelled me to the top. Without the support of so many, this expedition would not have been possible."


Hari has now safely descended to basecamp and is urging supporters worldwide to generously contribute as he raises funds for five veteran charities, including Team Forces/Team Army, The Gurkha Welfare Trust, Pilgrim Bandits Charity, Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, and On Course Foundation. His goal is to raise over £884,900, representing the height of Everest with two additional zeros.

To make this climb a reality, Hari has received support from over 30 organizations, including Team Forces/Team Army, Barratt Homes, Branding Science, Ottobock, Therabody, and the Oriental Club, as well as over 600 individuals. He is immensely grateful for this support, without which the endeavor would not have been possible.


Thank you to everyone who believed in Hari; you have all played a part in making history.
