Mountaineering History on Aconcagua with Hari Budha Magar

This February, Hari will be joining LHO to climb Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, as part of his groundbreaking journey.

We invite you to join Hari on the mountain, as you and Hari make your own seperate  attempts for the summit. This is not just a climb—it’s a chance t stand alongside a legend, share in his remarkable story, and contribute to a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your opportunity to join this life-changing adventure.

Who Is Hari Budha Magar?

Hari Budha Magar’s story is one of resilience, determination, and inspiration. Born in a remote village in Nepal, Hari served as a Gurkha soldier before an IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2010 resulted in the loss of both his legs above the knee. Despite this life-altering event, Hari refused to let his disability define him. Instead, he used it as a springboard to prove that there are no limits to what one can achieve with grit and a dream.

Hari’s Mountaineering Achievements

Hari’s name is synonymous with breaking barriers in the world of mountaineering. His accomplishments include:

• Reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro (5,895m), Africa’s highest mountain.
• Ascending Mont Blanc (4,809m) in the Alps, Europe’s highest currently accessible peak.
• In 2023, Hari made history by summiting Mount Everest (8,849m), becoming the first double above-the-knee amputee to achieve this feat.
• This year he became first double above knee amputee in history to summit Denali in the United States (6190m), his fourth of the seven summits*

Hari’s achievements are a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and his mission to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles, whatever they may be.
