Nina Rao speaks with Wasfia Nazreen about her adventures as a mountaineer, her friendship with the Dalai Lama, her work as an activist, and how she climbed her own inner mountains.
Wasfia Nazreen is best known for being the only Bangladeshi and first Bengali in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest mountains of every continent. She is also the only woman to hold the simultaneous titles of National Geographic Explorer & Adventurer. An outspoken activist since her late teens, her passion has always been driven by causes close to her heart. A human-rights activist, an environmentalist, a writer, educator, pilot, and producer - Wasfia wears many hats, all of which are grounded in strong foundations of meditation and self-realization practices.

Role Models (Opening)
Approach a Mountain as a Pilgrimage (38:00)
Inner Mountains (1:05:25)
“And I think it’s very important to give that difference that when you approach a mountain as a pilgrimage versus when you approach a mountain with the idea in your mind to conquer her. Because realistically speaking, we never, as human beings, can conquer any part of nature. But that’s what the colonial mentality has taught us to believe.” - Wasfia Nazreen
This conversation was recorded in spring 2022, and since then Wasfia also reached the summit of K2 of the Karakoram range.
