Sikkim woman scales Everest amid pandemic She is part of a 12-member Indian expedition team comprising six women and men that had embarked on the journey to summit four Himalayan peaks
Sikkimese mountaineer Manita Pradhan, 36, scaled the world’s highest peak in the early hours of Tuesday, her feat sending the mountaineering fraternity on cloud nine amid the pandemic.
Manita is the third woman from Sikkim to conquer Everest. Before her, Phul Maya Tamang and Yangde Sherpa were the first two women from the Himalayan state to do so in 2008.
However, Manita’s feat is special. It has come at a time of the raging global pandemic, when the contagion had also reached the base camp of Everest. There were reports that between 15 and 20 mountaineers had tested positive for Covid-19 from late April to early May.
