'14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible' summed up

The Nepali mountaineer left the world in awe when he attempted the impossible and succeeded in it. 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible documents the journey of Purja and his teammates as they attempt to climb 14 peaks above 8000 meters in seven months, despite the discouragement and lack of help they face.

Purja is a determined and fearless soul who led the project he had envisioned. His plan was to divide his mission into three phases and attempt to complete it one after the other.

In the beginning of 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, Purja makes clear his intentions. He wants to bring to the limelight the mountaineering community of Nepal who have never received the publicity they deserve. This community of professionals has always been overshadowed by Western climbers attempting to scale the peaks.

While the Western names went down in history, the Nepali climbers, who played a pivotal role in the expedition, guided the mountaineers and conducted rescue missions, were lost in the annals of time.

Through 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, Purja manages to succeed in his attempt to bring to the forefront the people who risk their lives and accompany mountaineers on perilous journeys. He made sure that the people accompanying him got the money and the limelight they deserved.

Finally, the world will hear the voice of Nepal's mountaineering community that has for so long remained unheard.


The gripping documentary is now available for streaming on Netflix. Don't miss the inspirational story of Nirmal Purja in 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible.
