Bangladeshi adventurer Najmun Nahar has reached the milestone of travelling to 185 countries, becoming the first Bangladeshi and the first Muslim woman to achieve the feat. She reached her 185th-country milestone on August 7, 2026, during a visit to Bhutan. Over a 26-year journey, Najmun Nahar has carried and raised Bangladesh’s red-and-green flag at more than 1,294 locations around the world, including mountain ranges and peaks, remote mountains, deserts, seas, oceans, islands and natural and historical landmarks, according to a press release. Her journey, however, has been marked by challenges, uncertainty and encounters with potentially life-threatening situations.
