A team from the Jawahar Institute of Mountaineering & Winter Sports, led by Colonel Hem Chandra Singh, achieved a remarkable feat by successfully summiting two challenging peaks in the Tso Morari region of Ladakh.
Mt Chamsar, standing at 6,630 meters, and Mt Lunser, at 6,666 meters, were both conquered within a record time of three days. This notable achievement marks the first time these peaks have been scaled in 14 years.
The expedition showcased the team’s exceptional mountaineering skills and determination, as they tackled the arduous climbs and harsh conditions of the high-altitude landscape.
The successful ascent not only highlights the capabilities of the institute’s training programs but also adds a significant milestone to India’s mountaineering achievements.
The team’s accomplishment is a testament to their high level of preparedness and resilience, reflecting the institute’s commitment to promoting mountaineering and winter sports in the region.
This achievement will likely inspire future climbers and contribute to the growth of adventure sports in Ladakh.
