KATHMANDU: Actor and model Chhiring Sherpa has achieved the remarkable feat of reaching the summit of Mount Everest.

She conquered the world’s tallest peak on Sunday and marked the occasion by hoisting flags representing various organizations.

After scaling Sagarmatha, Sherpa emphasized the importance of raising awareness at both national and international levels to address the impacts of climate change in mountainous regions.
