But she's not finished with Everest. Chhurim wants to climb the summit again from the Chinese side, as well as ascend Mt. Kanchanjunga, and also the highest peak on every continent.

Her father said he "couldn't be happier or more proud" to see one of his eight children achieve something no one else has.

For Chhurim, it's the world record that matters -- it's a testament of her determination to succeed in her mission.

As she held her framed world record certificate to pose for a photograph, Chhurim said, "I have created a name for myself and I have raised my country's profile. If you're really determined, you can definitely take yourself to new heights, and that's what I've done."
