female mountaineers

Meet 54-year-old Premlata Agrawal, a homemaker who became the first Indian woman to have achieved the record of climbing the Seven Summits at the age of 50 and the oldest Indian woman mountaineer to scale the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, in 2011.

At 1:07 p.m. IST, a day before her 30th birthday and six days before the 31st anniversary of the first ascension to Mount Everest, Bachendri Pal created history.

Excelling in academics, writing, dancing - Nungshi and Tashi Malik have done it all. But their biggest achievement so far is conquering some of the highest peaks in the world. The duo has found a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world’s first twin sisters to step together on the seven summits of the world.
