The 10-member team said it summited Mount Chekigo, considered one of the most challenging in mountaineering, on October 18. “Thirteen expeditions from different parts of the world have attempted the peak before us but failed,” Mohit said. “It’s a very tough climb, the most difficult I have experienced because of its deep crevasses and knife ridges.” Chekigo rises 6,257 metres above sea level in the Guri Shanker Himalayan range.
The Nepal Mountaineering Association said some objectives of the joint expedition was to promote Nepal tourism and to encourage Bangladeshi mountaineers and trekkers to visit Nepal. The mountain has been christened Nepal-Bangladesh Friendship Peak!
