In the world of extreme mountaineering, few names echo with as much power and pride as Nimsdai Purja — the former Gurkha and British Special Forces soldier who went on to rewrite the history of high-altitude climbing. But behind the viral Netflix documentary “14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible” and global headlines lies a powerhouse of preparation — Urja House.
The man behind it all — Nirmal ‘Nimsdai’ Purja — stunned the world when he climbed all 14 of the world’s highest peaks (above 8,000 meters) in just 6 months and 6 days, a feat once considered logistically unachievable. His record-breaking expedition, known as Project Possible, was not just a personal triumph but a national moment of pride for Nepal, shining a spotlight on the often-overlooked contributions of Sherpas and Nepali climbers in the global mountaineering community.
