A legless Nepalese soldier has made history by becoming the first double amputee to reach the summit of the world’s tallest mountain. Hari lost his legs fighting for the UK in Afghanistan. Hari wanted to climb the mountain in 2018 but back then the Nepalese government didn't allow disabled people to do so. Over the past decade he has climbed Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, Nepal's Mera Peak, Morocco's Mount Toubkal and Australia's Mount Black. If a double-above-knee amputee can climb Everest, you can climb whatever mountain you face, as long as you are disciplined, work hard and put everything into it.”SOURCES: THE GUARDIAN.COM, HINDUSTANTIMES.COM, MANILATIMES.COM, GOODNEWSNETWORK.COM, ALJAZEERA.COM
