After conquering Mount Everest and Annapurna I, Bangladeshi mountaineer Babar Ali is planning to summit all of the world's eight-thousander mountains in the Himalayas. 

Babar shared his goal today (16 April) while speaking at a press conference after returning from a summit of Annapurna I, one of the world's most technically challenging peaks.

Annapurna I, the 26,545-foot Himalayan mountain in Nepal, was conquered by Babar on 7 April, and he returned home on 15 April.

Speaking at the event, Babar said, "There are 14 peaks in the world that are 8,000 metres or higher. I want to climb each of them, step by step. 

"After summiting Everest and Lhotse last year, Annapurna was my next challenge. Though it's the tenth highest mountain, it's considered one of the most dangerous due to its technical difficulty. Climbing it in such a short time has massively boosted my confidence.

"I've done many adventures in my life, but nothing has tested me like Annapurna. Still, I'm deeply grateful to have returned safely and to share this achievement with you all."

The expedition's technical challenges were outlined by Farhan Zaman, the president of Vertical Dreamers and the expedition manager. 

"Babar handled all three 8,000-meter peaks with incredible discipline, especially Annapurna. It's a monster. With proper support, we truly believe he can summit all 14 peaks. Outside of Nepal's Sherpas, only one other South Asian, a Pakistani climber, has achieved that," said Farhan.
