Nirmal Purja, also known as Nims is a former Gurkha and UK Special Forces member, transitioned into an extraordinary mountaineer after his military career. His most notable accomplishment came in 2019 with “Project Possible,” a feat that involved climbing all fourteen of the world’s highest peaks in less than seven months, setting a new record in mountaineering history. This remarkable venture, narrated in the Netflix documentary “14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible,” showcased his unparalleled determination, skill, and resilience in the face of extreme challenges.

What sets Nims apart is not only his personal achievements but also his commitment to saving lives in the mountains. Despite pursuing ambitious goals, he has demonstrated a profound sense of responsibility towards fellow climbers, often risking his own safety to assist others in critical scenarios. This selflessness and willingness to prioritize the well-being of others underscore his character as a true hero of the mountains.

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to high-altitude mountaineering and his humanitarian efforts, Nims was appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2018. This prestigious honor acknowledges his outstanding service and dedication, not only to the field of mountaineering but also to the broader community, reflecting his profound impact and positive influence on society.
