Malagasy Climbers on Everest Expedition

The Bouka family from Madagascar is making history with their attempt to summit Mount Everest. Having reached the base camp on April 23, they are in a recovery phase before planning their summit attempt in mid to late May. This expedition marks a significant moment for Malagasy mountaineering.

Starting their journey in Madagascar in 2021, their adventures have included climbing Kilimanjaro and various Ecuadorian peaks. This Mount Everest quest is more than just a physical challenge; it's a symbolic journey to elevate Madagascar’s presence in the mountaineering world.

The family's dedication to environmental responsibility stands out, focusing on strict waste management to maintain Everest's purity. Their mission transcends reaching the summit, symbolizing a collective national achievement.
