Hyderabad: Bhukya Yashwant, a tribal youth from the remote Ullepalli Bhukya Thanda of Marripeda mandal in Mahabubabad district, Telangana, successfully climbed the 6,250-meter-high Mount Kang Yatze-2 on Monday, hoisting the Indian national flag at the summit.
Mount Kang Yatze-2 is located in Hemis National Park in the Ladakh region. It stands at the end of the Markha Valley in the Himalayas, with an elevation of 6,250 meters (20,500 feet).
Yashwant, who has already set multiple records in mountaineering, has previously scaled Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mount Elbrus in Europe, Mount Kosciuszko in Australia, and Mount Unum in Himachal Pradesh.
The journey to the summit was filled with challenges, testing both Yashwant’s physical endurance and mental strength. Despite the obstacles, his determination and passion for mountaineering enabled him to successfully complete the mission.
Yashwant acknowledged the support and encouragement from the Chief Minister of Telangana, A. Revanth Reddy, who provided financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh through the Telangana State Sports Authority.
Yashwant now plans to conquer Mount Everest and is counting on continued support and encouragement from his well-wishers and the government.
