Anggi Wahyuda, a spirited adventurer from Binjai, North Sumatra, recently achieved what many only dream of completing the trek to Everest Base Camp. As a bilateral amputee walking on prosthetic legs, Anggi’s journey is not only one of physical endurance but of profound inspiration. A content creator, mountain climber, and stand-up comedian, he has transformed personal adversity into a powerful movement for inclusivity through his campaign “Satu Langkah Lagi” (“One More Step”), which encourages people with disabilities to pursue bold goals. His trek to EBC, supported by both Indonesian and Nepali teams, exemplifies his belief that limitations exist more in mindset than in the body. With a background in Sharia Economics and a passion for storytelling, Anggi continues to challenge perceptions and redefine possibilities for the disabled community worldwide.

Anggi’s expedition also shines a spotlight on Nepal’s evolving role as a welcoming and inclusive destination for all adventurers. With initiatives like the accessible trail in the Annapurna region and increasing support for adaptive trekking, Nepal is emerging as a leader in barrier-free mountain tourism. Anggi’s powerful message that the Himalayas are not out of reach for those with disabilities echoes the spirit of the Nepal Himalaya: resilient, inclusive, and awe-inspiring. His journey stands as an invitation to all dreamers and trailblazers to take that next step no matter the obstacles in the land of the world’s highest peaks.

We had the opportunity to speak with Anggi shortly after he completed his inspiring trek to Everest Base Camp. Reflecting on the physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation he experienced along the way, Anggi opened up about the challenges, triumphs, and life lessons gained in the heart of the Himalayas. Here’s what he shared about his journey step by determined step to the base of the world’s highest mountain.
