Pushing her limits further, Kiani achieved new heights in April 2023, becoming the first Pakistani woman to conquer Annapurna, a formidable mountain at a staggering 8,091 meters in Nepal. Her accomplishments continued to soar as she gained international recognition for being the second Pakistani woman to successfully conquer Mount Everest, an awe-inspiring peak reaching 8,848 meters.
