Setting foot atop Mt. Mentok Kangri, a challenging 6250m peak, is no mean feat. This mission had 11 mountaineers including 2 Women Officers of Eastern Naval Command (ENC). A journey embarked end of May month, where all members successfully summitted Mt. Mentok Kangri located in Rupshu plateau in Eastern Leh on June 10, 2018. The expedition included a week’s approach trek from Tsokar lake, crossing 04 high passes ranging from 4800m-5400m and reaching base camp at 5300m and the team could finally summit the peak after a daunting and extremely challenging summit climb of 11 hrs including a 70 degree wall of around 350m, traversing through the glacier in 10-15 knot winds with occasional snowfall throughout the climb. The team also undertook yoga practice enroute as a run-up to the International Yoga Day being celebrated on 21 June across the world.
