Indian professional mountaineer Arjun Vajpai (Rajasthani) successfully scaled the world's 10th highest mountain Annapurna Mountain located in Nepal.
Annapurna Mountain is believed to be the most dangerous among 14 mountains with a peak of 8,000 meters.
Arjun completed the ascent at a height of 8091 meters above the ground on 17th April and has now become the first Indian to climb seven mountains above 8000 metres.
He now wants to become the first Indian to scale all the 14 mountains with 8000 meter peak in the world.
This was Arjuna's third attempt for Annapurna.
The first attempt was in 2019 without oxygen which could not be completed.
In 2022, again attempted Mount Annapurna, but had to turn back from a distance of 150 metres.
Arjun returned to Camp-4 after conquering Annapurna, but in this journey two Indian climbers went missing and a fellow climber from Ireland died in Camp-4.
Arjun was finally brought to the base camp with the help of helicopter.
