Imagine looking up at the moon and knowing that one of its craters has the name of an incredible woman. Exciting, right ? Do you know who she is? She is our very own Pasang Lhamu Sherpa.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently named a lunar crater after Pasang Lhamu Sherpa. The crater is located near the moon’s south pole, and this will now remind us of her extraordinary legacy every time we gaze at the mood in the night sky.

Pasang Lhamu Sherpa was born in the village of Thame in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal in 1961. She was a member of the Sherpa community, an ethnic group known for its mountaineering expertise. She began climbing mountains at a young age, and she quickly became one of the most respected climbers in Nepal.

In 1993, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa made history when she became the first Nepali woman to climb Mount Everest. Her journey was full of challenges, yet she completed it with full determination. Her determination and courage inspired our generation as well. Even Though she completed her journey many years back, she still continues to inspire us everyday. Her achievement was a major milestone for women’s mountaineering, and it inspired countless other women to pursue their dreams.

Furthermore, it is the first time that a Nepali has been honored with a lunar crater, and it is a tribute to the country’s rich cultural heritage and its contributions to the world. Similarly, it is also a source of inspiration for women and girls around the world. Pasang Lhamu Sherpa’s story is a reminder that anything is possible and women can achieve greater things if they set their minds to it.

The Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Crater is a symbol of hope and perseverance. It is a reminder that even in the face of challenges, we can achieve our dreams. This honor not only her challenges and her achievements but also shines a celestial spotlight on Nepal’s rich mountaineering heritage.
