The purpose behind the Heroes of Nepal series is to highlight and learn from the life journeys of exceptional Nepalis, so as to draw inspiration from them for all Nepalis to strive to lead extraordinary lives.
Aimdst a function organized on Friday, Nabil Bank initiated the Heroes of Nepal series by felicitating Nirmal Purja ‘Nims Dai’ for setting a world record of climbing the world’s 14 highest peaks within 7 months. At the function Purja shared not only the adventures of his 14 historic summit ascents but also the challenges of his journey through life. The function was attended by the Bank’s senior management team, media personalities and Nepali youth.
