Our parent climbs the Everest

Mr. Atul Karwal lived a long cherished dream of scaling the world’s tallest mountain range. Getting through the selection process itself is a feat as the selection lasted a few months, testing his physical abilities, endurance, adaptation skills, his knowledge about flora, fauna, mountain climbing, nutrition…his motivation!
To get selected he had to trek for weeks in dense forests under difficult circumstances that included rains that would refuse to stop for days, walking in knee deep murky water, sleeping in inhospitable conditions, facing crawling insects, slimy reptiles and wild animals. The list goes on. He lived his dream to climb the Everest for almost fifteen years and took more than a year getting ready for the expedition. After getting selected, the journey had just about begun. It included detailed, step by step guidelines to minimize health hazards and risks. The expedition was long and a single slip could prove to be fatal.
His determination, dedicated effort and ability to dream big are truly commendable.
