ABOUT SUSMITA
A Story of Triumph,
Resilience & Global Impact
Susmita Maskey is one of the world's most remarkable mountaineers and motivational speakers — the first Nepali woman to conquer all Seven Summits, with three ascents of Mt. Everest to her name.
A survivor of childhood trauma who transformed personal adversity into extraordinary strength, she carries that message of resilience to audiences across five continents. Her story resonates because it is not merely about mountains — it is about the human capacity to rise.
Fluent in English, Nepali, German, and Nepal Bhasa, Susmita engages audiences around the world with both heart and authority.

Inspiration
That leaves a lasting mark
“Ms. Susmita Maskey Niraula delivered an inspiring and impactful presentation, sharing her journey with great clarity and
confidence. Her story deeply resonated with the participants and left them feeling motivated and inspired
”
Saurav Dhakal
Advisor GIZ
“Susmita Maskey is a rare combination of grit and determination — the grit to tackle earth’s biggest mountains and the determination a woman needs to muscle her way into the male dominated sport of high altitude climbing."
Richard Ragan
United Nations WFP Representative
“Susmitas Vortrag hat die Besucherinnen des Anlasses von Anfang an begeistert. Sie hat es geschafft, den Menschen ihre persönliche Geschichte und das Thema Bergsteigen als Frau näher zu bringen. Sie verbindet dies mit den grossen Sinn-Fragen und
Herausforderung unserer Leben und regt so zur Reflexion an.
