Facing Snowstorms and Minus 27°C Temperatures
Khansa described the expedition as both thrilling and physically demanding.
“The journey was very exciting and extremely challenging, from the first day to the last. We were exposed to snow in freezing conditions and it was very exhausting,” said Khansa.

“We did not reach the summit due to the extreme conditions. But we are very proud for Indonesia — we still raised the Red and White Flag,” she said.
