Pune : In a remarkable testament to human determination and the indomitable human spirit, Wakad based Techie couple Shrikant Ashok Kamble and Pallavi Shrikant Kamble, have successfully completed the grueling Everest Base Camp trek. 

The couple is residing in MontVert Vivant society in Wakad, Pune.  

This Diwali the couple chose to celebrate health and wellness in a different format by Challenging themselves Physically and pushing themselves to embrace new horizons.

What makes this accomplishment even more incredible is that both Shrikant and Pallavi are tech employees. Shrikant has done his master’s in automotive engineering While Pallavi is a Master in Electronics & Telecommunication, underscoring the growing passion for adventure among the city’s Techie professionals.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the journey of a lifetime in the majestic Himalayas of Nepal. This is an adventure that will give you a firm acclimatization to challenging, steep climbs and high altitude, culminating at the base camp of the majestic Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, at 17,600 feet (5,364 meters) above sea level. This trek is famous for its beautiful scenery, cultural experiences, and the privileged location of the iconic Mount Everest entrance. At an altitude of 18,514 feet (5,644 meters),it also offers a spectacular sight with unparalleled views of Mount Everest and its neighboring peaks.

The couple expressed immense pride for undertaking this remarkable journey. “This feat demonstrated exceptional preparation, both physically and mentally” they said. “The Everest Base Camp trek is not only a physical challenge but also a journey of self-discovery, determination, and pushing one’s limits. We are elated to be able to conquer these ultimate challenges.“

The couple had planned this adventure well, and they were just as careful when getting ready for this trek. Before going to the Himalayas, they trained a lot. They worked on getting fit, getting used to high altitudes, and learning how to find their way around. The Duo has completed RoopKund Trek (5,020 m) together in the past, while Shrikant has completed Himalayan treks like Rupin Pass, Roopkund, Chadar & Deoriatal Chandrashila Peaks. This thorough preparation was a big part of why they were successful in safely navigating the challenging Himalayan trails.

This journey takes participants through diverse landscapes, from dense forests and beautiful villages to vast forests passing through their types. Along the way, they have the right to immerse themselves in the rich Sherpa culture, recognising their warmth and impressive abilities. The trek also offered them spectacular views of the highest peaks, including the iconic Mount Everest, Lhotse, Pumori, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.

Their journey is not all about difficulties. Unpredictable weather conditions, the effects of high altitude, and the physical demands of hiking tested their mettle. But the unwavering dedication, collaboration, support, and guidance of the Himalayan Wonders trek leaders ensured their safety and success.

This remarkable achievement by the Couple celebrates not only their physical endurance and mental resilience but also highlights the increasing enthusiasm for adventure among IT professionals in Pune.
