Meet Grihitha Vichare, 10-YO Girl From Thane Who Climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kinabalu And More!

At just 10 years old, Grihitha Vichare stands tall among mountaineers. Her achievements defy her tender age. The young Indian adventurer has already carved her name into multiple record books with remarkable determination. Grihitha’s mountaineering journey began early. She summited Mount Everest Base Camp at merely eight years old. No small feat. The climb, which stretched across 5,364 metres, in Nepal would challenge even seasoned trekkers. Yet she persevered.

Meet Grihitha Vichare Who Is Making History At The Age Of Ten

After her conquest at the Mount Everest Base Camp, her appetite for adventure only grew stronger. Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro followed, where she conquered Africa’s highest peak at nine. She didn’t stop there. Malaysia’s Mount Kinabalu fell next under her determined footsteps.

She became the youngest Indian to reach its summit which is 4,095 metres high. Azerbaijan’s Mount Bazarduzu became another notch in her climbing belt at age ten. The challenging ascent, 4,466 metres, proved no match for her indomitable spirit. She kept pushing boundaries.

The Kedarkantha Peak in Uttarakhand soon followed. Grihitha’s portfolio now boasts over 85 treks across India and beyond. Impressive indeed. Her achievements have garnered ten India Book of Records, one Asia Book of Record, and three India Book of Records Appreciations. Each recognition is well-deserved.
