His achievements coincided with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, an Indian government initiative to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence.
“The Marangu I route, along with two other mountain climbers, chose quite tough because all the other seven routes. This is also known as the Coca Cola route which means that it is popular among the world’s leading mountain climbers to do the peak. The chances of the summit are higher in This route, “said Kaler.
Previously, Kaler had carried out the summit of Mount Hurro from Machhadhar in the Himalayas.
He is a trained and honored mountain climber with the best Mountaineer award by the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) in 2018 during his basic mountain climbing course.
Police officials said Gilman Point was the most difficult to cross because of the rough stone terrain and bad weather.
We started the expedition from the Marangne gate to Mandala Hut and then from Mandala Hut to Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut. From Kibo Hut to Gilman Point is the toughest part. Then Stella Point and finally Uhuru Peak, the top point of Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895 meters, he said.
“Of course, the weather does lead to big challenges, especially when we start rising from Kibo Hut to Gilman Point.” The climb starts around midnight at 12 am in the middle of cold and windy weather and takes three days to conquer its peak.
The top point of the peak, the peak of Uhuru, in Swahili means freedom.
Tanzania received freedom from the British colonial in December 1961 and this peak was named Uhuru, Freedom.
