Arunachal Women Make History by Scaling 7,077‑Metre Mt Kun

In a recent expedition, two women from Arunachal Pradesh reached the summit of Mt Kun, standing at 7,077 metres, becoming the first female climbers to do so. The ascent, which required navigating steep ridges and unpredictable weather, was completed after several days of climbing in the Eastern Himalayas. Their achievement is seen as a significant milestone for women in Indian mountaineering, inspiring more female adventurers to pursue high‑altitude climbs. The duo’s success follows a growing trend of increased participation of women in challenging Himalayan expeditions across the country.
