Kaamya Karthikeyan, a 12 year old who has been accomplishing deeds of tall order, literally. Kaamya started trekking in the Sahyadris from a tender age of three, with her Himalayan odyssey starting in 2015 at the age of 7. Since then, she's been on many high altitude treks like Chandrashila Peak (12000 ft), Har-ki Dun (13500 ft), Kedarkantha (13500 ft), Brighu Lake (14100 ft), Sar pass (13850 ft) and Roopkund (16400 ft). In May 2017, Kaamya trekked to the Everest Base Camp at 17600 ft when she was just 9 yrs old. In August 2017, Kaamya summitted Mt. Stok Kangri at 20187 Ft to become the youngest climber in the world to climb a peak above 20000 Ft or 6000 M. In August 2019, Kaamya summitted Mt Mentok Kangri II (6262 m / 20544 ft) to test her ability to repeatedly conquer such heights. After her experience on Stok Kangri, Kaamya embarked on the ultimate mountaineering challenge, “The Explorers Grand Slam”, to climb the highest peak in all seven continents and ski to the North and South poles. She has named her mission SAHAS – literally meaning ‘Adventure’. She is endeavouring to complete them all by 2022, to become the youngest in the world to achieve the feat at just 14 years of age. Kaamya climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa in Oct 2017, followed by Mt. Elbrus in Jun 2018 and even skiied down from its summit. In Nov 2018, Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia became the third of her 7summits. In Feb 2020, Kaamya stood undeterred and overcame multiple hurdles, administrative, physically and mental to become the Youngest girl in the world to summit Mt. Aconcagua (22837 ft), the highest peak of South America and the highest peak outside Asia. With these climbs, Kaamya hasn’t just summitted four of the 7summits, but hopes to capture the imagination of many young Indians and inspire them to pursue their dreams. She even got the attention of the Honourable Prime Minister, who lauded her efforts in his Mann ki Baat of February 20. .
