17-year boy aspires to join the Army
Defying age and harsh conditions, a 17-year-old from Mahabubabad district has conquered Mount Kililmanjaro, Africa’s highest point. Bhukya Yaswanth, who hails from Bhukya Tanda, a hamlet of Ullepally village in Maripeda mandal, went for rock climbing training at Bhongir in February 2020 after completing class 10 studies. As he showed expertise in climbing rocks, he was offered a seat at the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Sikkim. He has earlier climbed a 6,000-metre mountain in Ladakh. His next big goal was to scale Kilimanjaro, the 5,895-metre snowcapped mountain in Tanzania. He left for Africa along with two others from Maharashtra, thanks to financial support of some philanthropists. He started his expedition on August 19, and it took him about four days to reach the top. He headed down to the base and made it in two days.
