To celebrate the local voices of the Himalayan community, Bally commissioned a four-part series of short documentary films dedicated to the first phase of its #8X8000M​ pledge, narrated by the people who live among the mountain environments of Everest, Cho Oyu, Makalu and Lhotse.

The first video follows our #BallyPeakOutlook​ team’s Dawa Steven Sherpa, a passionate environmental activist and tourism entrepreneur, who introduces Everest and calls attention to the impact these vital mountains have on local communities.

Responsible for leading expeditions that have removed over 20,000kg of garbage since 2008, he is a climate change ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and patron of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Nepal.
