Right after summiting Mount Manaslu on 27 September, Sheikha Asma Al-Thani made her way Dhaulagiri whis is the seventh highest mountain in the world and located in Nepal. It wasn't an easy climb and Sheikha Asma and her team were hit with a terrible storm, but they didn't give up and eventually reached the top of this 8,167 metre mountain where she raised the Qatari flag with triumph.
Sheikha Asma talked about the challenges in her Instagram post:
"Our summit push started with extremely challenging conditions, but with determination we kept on going higher, trailblazing to the summit of the 7th highest mountain in the world. A 32 hour nonstop summit push and down to basecamp was not easy but but we all did it with passion and love for the climb."
Sheikha Asma is a sports lover at heart and an adventurer. She loves art and everything about it. She believes limits are just a state of mind, and it's up to us to break down any walls we set up, and that's just what she's done by climbing different summits and reaching the North Pole.
