Women of Tibet: Meet Dechen Lhamo, first Tibetan woman to scale Mt. Everest twice from both sides

Dechen Lhamo is a mountaineer and former Special Frontier Force member who scaled Mount Everest twice, from both the South Side (Nepal) and the North Side (Tibet). Lhamo, who now resides in Hunsur, fled Tibet for India and studied at TCV Suja before enlisting in the Special Paramilitary Force of the Indian Army. She summited several mountains in India before climbing Mount Everest twice, in 2005 and 2008. Her achievements earned accolades from both the Indian government and the Tibetan government-in-exile.

Climbling Mount Everest is no joke and she deserved every applause and medal. Most of the Sherpas are from Tibet namely the famous Tenzin Norgay. And I believe there are other Tibetan woman mountaineer. One is Lhakpa Sherpa, who scaled Everest 10 times.

Dechen Dolma is hero དཔའ་བོ་ for Tibetans. Tenzin Norgye (born in Phaduk, Tingri area) climbed in 1954.
Gonpo Dorjee (born in Surtso, Tingri area) climbed Mt Everest in 1961 or 1962. These two famous climbers were both natives of Tingri region. Norgye & Dorjee climbed south & north face respectively. Woh

[@lobsangtsethar5551]

It would be more appropriate to have a title of this video as TIBETAN WOMAN WHO SCALED MT. EVEREST FROM BOTH SIDES - an achievement other no other woman in the world had so far. THIS A UNIQUE ACHIEVEMENT WHICH THE VLOGGER HAVE FAILED TO GRASP. Sorry for overpouring of emotions.

[@Kim-m2z]

Even Tenzin Norway is Tibetan ( dontvknow if he alive or not) but he took Nepalese citizen n married with Sherpa. Hence, he recognised as first Sherpa climber to the mt. Everest

[@lobsangthapkhe2176]

Absolutely true.
