\nSpecial Assistant to the Chief Minister for Tourism, Culture, Archaeology and Museums Malik Adil Iqbal has congratulated a nine-member team of young mountaineers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for successfully summiting the 6,050-metre Thalo Zom peak, describing the achievement as a landmark moment for adventure tourism in the province.
\nHe said the climbers demonstrated exceptional courage, determination and skill by conquering one of the most challenging and least-frequented peaks in the Hindu Kush mountain range. He added that the provincial government is taking effective steps to promote adventure tourism, and the successful expedition reflects those ongoing efforts.
\nAccording to Malik Adil Iqbal, the expedition was organized with the patronage and technical support of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Culture and Tourism Authority (KPCTA). The team, comprising climbers from different districts of the province, successfully hoisted the national flag atop Thalo Zom, an achievement expected to further promote mountaineering and adventure tourism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\nOfficials said the expedition began on July 9, and after an arduous eight-day journey, the team reached the 6,050-metre summit on July 17. During the climb, the mountaineers crossed the rugged terrain of Kumrat and Chitral, traversing glaciers, deep crevasses and steep snow-covered slopes. Ice screws were installed at particularly dangerous sections to facilitate the ascent, while the final push to the summit took approximately eight hours of continuous climbing.
\nThe climbers thanked the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Culture and Tourism Authority for its technical assistance and logistical support, saying the institution played a key role in the success of the expedition. They expressed confidence that the achievement would serve as a milestone in promoting technical mountaineering and adventure tourism in the province.
\nAccording to the Tourism Authority, Thalo Zom was first summited by an Australian expedition in 1971, while an Italian team successfully climbed the peak in 2019. The latest expedition included climbers Rohullah, Umar Khan, Intikhab Khan, Nauman Samee, Izzatullah Shah, Saeed Akhtar, Naeem Khan, Fawad Khan and Rawaz Ali, representing Swat, Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, Bisham and Chitral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
