Muhammad Abdul Mohit (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ আবদুল মুহিত, born 4 January 1970) is a Bangladeshi mountaineer who became the second Bangladeshi to conquer Mount Everest on 21 May 2011.[1][2] Previously, Musa Ibrahim became the first Bangladeshi to conquer Everest on 23 May 2010. Then on 19 May 2012, he conquered Everest for the second time via Nepal (southern face).[3] He is the only Bangladeshi mountaineer to have climbed Mount Everest twice, once from each side.[4]
Early life & education
[edit]He was born on 4 January 1970, in Gangapur, Borhanuddin Upazila of Bhola. His father is Monowar Hossain Mia and mother is Anwara Begum. He is the eldest son of the family. There are 4 sisters and 3 brothers in the family. The eldest sister's name is Zakia Begum Ankhi. He passed SSC Examination (1985) from Pogoj School in Old Dhaka, HSC Examination (1987) from Notre Dame College, and B.Com. (1989) from Dhaka City College. In his professional life, he is an official of a private organization in Dhaka.
Mountaineering
[edit]In October 1997, he became passionate about mountaineering, becoming the first among his friends to climb 1,800 feet on Chandranath Hill in Sitakunda, Chittagong. That passion inspired him. In 2004, he participated in the Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar treks, and received basic mountaineering training from the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling, India, and advanced mountaineering training from the same institute in 2005. In addition, as a preparation, he climbed Chulu West (May 2007), Mera (September 2007), the world's eighth highest peak Manaslur (May 2008), Singu, and Labuj peaks in the Himalayas at various times.[5]
That same year in 2010, he went to conquer Everest along with Musa, but due to adverse weather conditions, he failed. Finally, as a member of the Bangla Mountaineering and Trekking Club, he set out again to conquer Everest in the last week of March 2011, and finally he succeeded. The news of his success was confirmed by the Foreign Ministry of Bangladesh, citing the Nepalese Embassy in Dhaka.[6]
