Fourteen-year-old student Malaika Khilji has made history by becoming the first female mountaineer from Balochistan to successfully summit Khusar Gang Peak, marking a proud moment for the province and the country.
The expedition was organised by the Alpine Club of Pakistan and is being recognised as an important milestone in Pakistan's mountaineering history. Malaika's achievement reflects the growing participation of young Pakistanis, especially women, in adventure sports and high-altitude mountaineering.
