LAHORE: The young Pakistani top mountaineer Shehroze Kashif has successfully summited Mount Dhaulagiri, which is the 7th highest peak in the world at 8167 meters above sea level.
After scaling Dhaulagiri, he has now become the youngest Pakistani mountaineer to have summited the 12 highest mountains of the world. Once again, this expedition is sponsored by BARD Foundation. He also recently summited Annapurna I, the world’s 10th-highest mountain.
“I aim to promote the sport of mountain climbing by generating opportunities for the youth to fulfill their dreams and passion in the same field”, says Shehroze. He spoke about his unstoppable desire to scale maximum highest peaks in the world, ultimately setting a world record as the youngest mountaineer to have summited all 14 highest peaks of the world. He has also expressed his profound gratitude and respect for BARD Foundation, which is helping him pursue his dreams without any financial obstacles.
