Some peaks of the Himalayas are visible from Thakurgaon where Musa grew up. “I once took him to the Jagaddal Hat of Thakurgaon to show him a peak of the mountain,” said Musa's father Ansar Ali, “Musa was merely a boy of nine years old then, and he was amazed by the view”. “We never heard about his dream of conquering Everest until he completed his university degree,” said the proud father of Musa Ibrahim, the first Bangladeshi Everest conqueror.
