🏔️ PROPOSAL TO HONOUR NIMSDAI: “NIMSDAI ANNAPURNA”
A proposal has been put forward by Annapurna Rural Municipality, Myagdi, to rename Annapurna I in honour of legendary Nepali mountaineer Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja.
The proposed name is “Nimsdai Annapurna.” The municipality is also planning a statue and museum dedicated to Purja.
Annapurna holds special significance in Nimsdai’s story—it was the first mountain of his historic Project Possible, the journey that saw him complete all 14 of the world’s 8,000-metre peaks in just six months and six days.
A mountain where his historic journey began could now carry his name forever. ❤️🏔️🇳🇵
