Conquering Dreams by Hari Budha Magar
In 2010, while serving with the Royal Gurkha Rifles in Afghanistan, Hari’s life changed forever when he stepped on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The blast resulted in the loss of both of his legs above the knee.
In Conquering Dreams, Hari opens up about the devastating initial impact of his injuries, his struggle with severe mental health challenges, and the pivotal moments that helped him rebuild his life. Driven by an unyielding Gurkha spirit and a determination to redefine what is possible for double above-the-knee amputees, Hari set his sights on the highest peak on Earth: Mount Everest.
In May 2023, Hari made history by becoming the first double above-the-knee amputee to summit Everest, proving to the world that disability is no barrier to achieving extraordinary dreams.
