A 13-year-old Indian girl has recently scaled the heights of the highest mountain in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro. Belonging from Hyderabad, Muriki Pulakita Hasvi does not want to stop here. She says that "she has the hunger of topping all seven summits across the world", reported news agency ANI. Hasvi started her preparations for scaling Mount Kilimanjaro three months back after completing her base camp.

She told ANI, “It was an adventurous experience, Mount Kilimanjaro is such a mountain where you experience all the weather conditions." Hasvi got inspirations from her base camp to begin her journey for all the seven summits in the world. She started her preparation for Mount Kilimanjaro then and there. 


However, scaling the highest mountain of Africa is not a piece of cake. It requires a strong mindset which Hasvi learnt during her preparation. Hasvi said that she used to do yoga, meditation and other activities to keep herself mentally and physically fit. 

Hasvi told that she got to know about mountaineering through a movie which later resulted in developing a taste for mountaineering. For the future, Hasvi has made all the plans to complete all the seven summits before 2024.

“My message to all young generations is not to ask them to choose mountaineering but to basically tell them to conquer their mountain in their lives,” Hasvi said.
