In a historic achievement for Pakistan’s mountaineering community, 14-year-old student Malaika Khilji from Balochistan has become the first woman from the province to summit Khosar Gang Peak.

The expedition, organised under the auspices of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, marks a significant milestone in the country’s climbing history, said a statement issued here.

After successfully reaching the summit, Malaika Khilji hoisted Pakistan’s green and white flag, a gesture symbolizing her love for the country and the determination of Pakistani youth.
