12-year-old girl sets global record by climbing 3 peaks

Gunjan Pankaj Prabhu Narvekar, 12 year old girl from Goa climbed three peaks above 6000 meters, namely Mt Kang Yatse-II (6250 m), Mt Reponi Mallari-I (6097 m), and Mt Reponi Mallari -II(6113 m) mountain ranges located in the Markha Valley in the Ladakh Region and set the global record by climbing 3 peaks in 62.5 hours. After achieving this feat, she now aims for Mt. Everest. She climbed the three 6000m+ peak in 49 hours and 62.5 hours (basecamp to basecamp), setting a new global record.

Sharing her experience, Gunjan stated “The weather was quite bad when we went. Because it was not anticipated that it would snow this month, when we went, we expected a clear sky and not so much snowfall. Because of the snow, it was more difficult, as while walking, our feet would go to knee length in the snow and in some places to hip length, and removing it would get us more tired. But we did not face any injuries”

In May 2023, Raigarh's Yashi Jain 24 years became the youngest girl from Chhattisgarh to scale Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, and Mount Lhotse, the fourth-highest peak, in 26 hours.

Kudos to these girls!!
