    Darjeeling.
     She studied in a Nepali medium school, but only up to
    class 12.
     At the age of 18, she got married and moved to
    Jamshedpur to start a new life.
     Within a year, she gave birth to a baby girl and got busy
    with her family responsibilities.

    daughters in all fields education, sports, all round
    development.
     In the evenings she used to take her two daughters to the
    JRD Sports complex to learn tennis and since she had to
    wait there even she joined the ladies gym- mainly for
    yoga classes.
     At the JRD Sports complex she learned about the ‘Dalma
    Hills Walking Competition’ organized by the famous
    mountaineer Bachendri Pal. She took part and
    unexpectedly won third prize.
     She started her mountaineering career in the year 1999.
     Her first stop was the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering
    in Uttarkashi, for a course of 21 days, where all the
    trainees were half her age including her daughter.
     Many a times the instructor mocked her by passing
    statements as ‘ iss age mein mountaineering karne aayi
    ho? You won’t be able to do it.’
     But to everyone’s surprise she turned out to be the best
    and grabbed the best trainee award with a “A” grade.
     This single victory gave her a giant leap in confidence.
    She event went for a advanced course at the Himalayan
    Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling and for many
    mountaineering expeditions along with Bachendri Pal.
     These expeditions took her to the Karkoram pass, Stok
    Kangri( Ladakh) and Island Peak (Nepal).
     Another small mountain which she conquered was the
    freedom to wear what she wanted.
     After the Island Peak expedition Bachendri Pal asked
    her to get trained for Mount Everest which she refused
    at first, but after 5 years During an Expedition to Mount
    Kilimanjaro, when she was again asked about an
    expedition to Mount Everest she agreed.

    ADVICE TO WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS
     She always says that a person needs a fit body and
    positive mental attitude to live every moment of it fully.
     We should always live in the present & forget the past or
    the future.
     We all have a tremendous power within us, such a power
    that we can achieve anything we desire.

    should try it with their whole heart and put in 100% and
    they will turn out successful.
     She believes that success is never an individual
    achievement. One needs the support and blessings of
    many people and should always move ahead with their
    family because they provide you with great inner
    strength.
