​

Kathmandu, Nepal – [29, July 2025] 
What happens when 11 YouTubers from six countries with no mountaineering experience take on the most legendary trail in the world? You get "Challengers Everest" a world record–setting reality series filmed above Everest Base Camp, up to 18,519ft, blending cultural immersion, extreme competition, and urgent climate storytelling.

🎥 The Storyline: From Zero to the Summit

The show features creators from India, Colombia, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, and the USA, embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. These YouTubers, who have zero prior experience in mountaineering, undergo an intensive crash course in high-altitude survival and Himalayan culture while simultaneously competing in team and individual challenges inspired by real expedition training.

The heart of the show lies in the Himalayan Games physically and mentally demanding tasks designed by actual mountaineers to test courage, endurance, teamwork, and cultural respect. At stake: a grand prize of $100,000, awarded to the ultimate Challenger.

🧗‍♂️ Legends Who Lead

This high-altitude odyssey is guided by three of the most legendary mountaineers of our time:​

• Kami Rita Sherpa – Head Coach and World Record holder with the most successful Everest summits in history

• Mingma David Sherpa – Expedition Leader and World record holder for the most successful ascents of K2

• Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja – Expedition Director and world record holder of most ascents of 8,000+ Peaks

The show is hosted by Indian TV icon Nikhil Chinapa, adding his signature energy and global fan base to the project.

🌏 Why It Matters: Climate Change at the Source

At its core, Challengers Everest is more than just a show, it’s a global call to action.
Produced by impact startup World Vlog Challenge, the project sheds light on the melting glaciers of the Himalayas, which feed over 2 billion people across Asia. As climate change accelerates, these glaciers are disappearing-putting water security, agriculture, and livelihoods at risk.

By harnessing the voices of beloved digital creators with over 40 million+ followers across social media, Challengers Everest makes environmental storytelling accessible and viral; speaking directly to Gen Z and millennial audiences worldwide.
