Photojournalist Purnima Shrestha who made history by becoming the first woman to summit Mt. Everest three times in a single season last year, today scaled Mt Everest for the fifth time.
She reached the summit of the world's highest peak with Satori Adventures this morning, said Rishi Bhandari, Managing Director at Satori Adventures.
