Internet Desk: A mountaineer from Arunachal Pradesh on Sunday created history after she climbed Mt Everest two times in just three days time. A mother of two, Anshu Jamsenpa had touched the highest peak of the world for the fourth time on May 16, 2017. She started her journey to the peak on Friday morning again, her husband Tsering Wange informed. Jamsenpa and her partner Furi Sherpa climbed the peak at 8 am today.
Jamsenpa had touched the top of the Mt Everest at 9.15 am on May 16 last. She has set the new world record for becoming the first women mountaineer to reach the top of Mt Everest twice within five days time. She is also the first Indian woman to reach the top of Mt Everest for the fifth time. The 32-year-old had achieved the feat of summiting Mt Everest twice within 10 days earlier in 2011.
Anshu had also climbed Mt Everest in 2013 from the Nepal side. “My only aim now is to unfurl the national flag once again atop Mt Everest and pay homage to Lord Buddha. I seek blessings and support from my fellow countrymen,” Jamsenpa was quoted by her PR manager as having said before starting her second ascent.
Prayers were organised in several monasteries and temples back home in Arunachal Pradesh and elsewhere in the region. Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama had flagged off the mountaineer’s double ascent expedition from Guwahati on April 2 this year.
