Twenty-six year old Tahar Manai embarked on his journey in Nepal and reached the peak after 9 hours of climbing, 1,200 mt of height difference and temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius, proudly planting the Tunisian flag on "the roof of the world". Born in Sousse, Tahar lives in France where he works as a fireman.
He dedicated his Himalayan expedition to Tunisia and called his climb "The ascent of a nation" wishing to pay a tribute to his country's search for unity and democracy beyond the wounds of the past, as he explained in a recent interview.
