Bikram Karki: First Everest Climber of Makwanpur District – A Legacy of Leadership, Determination & Himalayan Distinction
With the mention of the name Mount Everest, images of awe, adversity, and the indomitable human spirit arise. For Bikram Karki, such a spirit became a tangible reality on the 21st of May, 2022, at 11:22 AM when he stood atop Everest in pride—the first Everest climber of Makwanpur District.

This wasn’t just a triumph for an individual—it was history for his community, his constituency, and Nepal’s next generation of climbers.

Makwanpur Marks Historic First
Bikram Karki’s journey to the top of the world began in the mid-hill landscapes of Makwanpur District, far from the snowfields of Everest but rich with ambition. His Everest summit marked a first in the district’s history, turning him into a local hero and national inspiration.

“I wanted to prove that someone from Makwanpur can rise to the highest peak on Earth,” Bikram shares.
“Now, let the children of our district know—they can climb even higher.”

This achievement made Bikram more than a mountain climber. It made him a force for hope for rural Nepal—a powerful model for what courage, ability, and heart can achieve.

Everest and Beyond: The Climber’s Track Record
Bikram Karki is not only the first Makwanpur District Everest summiteer—he is one of Nepal’s most trusted and experienced high-altitude guides. With over 16 years of guiding experience, he has led treks and expeditions through each of the major areas of the Nepal Himalaya.

Other Summits of Note:
Mount Everest (8,848m) – 2 times

Ama Dablam (6,812m) – 5 times

Island Peak (6,189m) – 24 times

Mera Peak (6,476m) – 6 times

Manaslu (8,163m) – 1 time

“Climbing Everest wasn’t the finish,” says Bikram.
“It was the beginning of a bigger responsibility—to lead by example and return to where I belong.”

Inspiring the Next Generation of Makwanpur
As the very first Makwanpur District climber to have ascended the peak of Mount Everest, Bikram has been a forceful inspiration to youth all over Nepal. He speaks regularly in schools and at public gatherings, challenging youth to believe in their dreams—to pursue those dreams on the mountains or otherwise.

His story is a proof that excellence can arise from humble beginnings. Anything can be achieved with the right attitude, training, and perseverance, even finding oneself at the top of the world.
