In a breathtaking feat of courage and endurance, Safrina Latheef has etched her name in history as the first woman from Kerala to scale Mount Everest. The 37-year-old Kannur native, a long-time resident of Qatar, reached the 8,848-meter summit at 10:25 am Nepal time after an epic 20-hour ascent through bone-chilling temperatures and punishing winds.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Historic First: Safrina is now celebrated as the first Kerala woman and the first Doha-based Indian expat woman to stand atop Everest, inspiring Malayalis and Indians worldwide.
  • Epic Journey: Her summit push began from Camp 4, enduring 26 continuous hours of climbing and braving extreme weather, with the unwavering support of her expedition team.
  • Seasoned Adventurer: This triumph follows years of rigorous training and previous summits of Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), Aconcagua (Argentina), and Mount Elbrus (Russia), often alongside her husband, Dr. Shameel Musthafa.
  • Family and Community Support: Safrina credits her family, especially her husband and daughter Minha, and the Elite Exped team for their steadfast encouragement.
  • Inspiration for Women: Her achievement is being hailed as a beacon of hope and empowerment for women and young girls, proving that with determination and resilience, no peak is insurmountable.
  • Global Recognition: Safrina’s story is resonating across Kerala, Qatar, and beyond, igniting a wave of pride in the global Malayali and Indian communities.
Safrina’s ascent is more than a personal victory—it’s a powerful reminder that dreams, no matter how high, are always within reach.
