On October 2, Purnima Shrestha and Pasang Lhamu Sherpa became the first Nepali women to reach the summit of Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest mountain in the world. The duo had tried to scale the mountain with different expedition agencies during the spring, but due to unfavourable weather and other circumstances, Shrestha and Sherpa had to cut short their summit bid.
