Special Report: Indians among top Everest conquerors News

Indians among top Everest conquerors News: "While Nepalis retained their dominance on Mt Everest, the survey found that after them, Americans, British and Indians had the highest number of summiteers on Everest. Besides 39 Americans and 27 Britons, 19 climbers from India followed in Hillary and Tenzing’s footsteps.
The record was even better vis-a-vis other Himalayan peaks where India sent the second highest number of summiters – 48 – after the US with 129.
Indian climbers also dominated the list of records. While this spring’s annals were dominated by Nepal’s Apa Sherpa, who summited Mt Everest a record 21 times, the husband and wife duo from Haryana, Vikash and Sushma Kaushik, in their early 30s, became the youngest couple in the world to reach the top of the world.
A 32-year-old housewife from Arunachal Pradesh, Anshu Jamsenpa, became the first Indian to summit Mt Everest twice in one climbing season while Tine Mena, also from the same state, became the first woman from North-East India to become an Everest hero."
