Arunachal Pradesh Governor KT Parnaik has congratulated January Tali and Hachu Lombo for their remarkable achievement of successfully summiting Mt Kun, a 7,077-meter peak in the Zanskar region of Ladakh. The governor described their feat as a moment of immense pride for the state, highlighting that the two mountaineers have made history by becoming the first women from Arunachal Pradesh to conquer the challenging peak. Mt Kun is considered one of India’s most demanding high-altitude climbing destinations, known for its steep snow-covered slopes, treacherous glaciers, thin air, and unpredictable weather conditions.
Despite these challenges, Tali and Lombo demonstrated extraordinary courage, determination, endurance, and mental strength to reach the summit. The governor expressed his confidence that their achievement would bring laurels to Arunachal Pradesh and inspire countless young people, especially women, to dream big and pursue excellence. He also believes that their accomplishment would motivate the youth of Arunachal Pradesh to embrace physical fitness, adventure sports, and a spirit of perseverance.
The governor’s congratulatory message was released from Lok Bhavan.
