The base camp is located at 5,364 meters, and Rhythm Mamania completed the excursion in 11 days.
Digital Desk: Rhythm Mamania, a 10-year-old skater from Mumbai, has become one of the youngest Indian mountaineers to reach Everest base camp, a trek she completed in 11 days.
Harshal and Urmi, her parents, joined her on the walk earlier this month.
The base camp is situated at 5,364 meters, and it took 11 days for her to complete the expedition.
Rhythm, a resident of Worli, said, "Skating ring or base camp summit, it's the determination that gets you a long way."
Rythm stated, "Along with skating, trekking has always been my passion, but this trek taught me how important it is to be a responsible trekker and solve the mountain waste management problem."
Rhythm has been mounting mountains since she was five years old, according to her mother, and her first major journey was the 21-kilometer Dudhsagar. Since then, she has climbed a few peaks in the Sahyadri ranges, including Mahuli, Sondai, Karnala, and Lohagad.
Rhythm walked for 8-9 hours in diverse difficult terrain in varying climatic circumstances, including hailstones and snowfall and temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius, she noted during the base camp journey.
According to a Nepal-based firm, the child had trekked to the base camp with a group of Kutch trekkers from 'Satori Adventures.'
Urmi mentioned that "After reaching the base camp, other members of the group decided to take the helicopter on the way back, but Rhythm insisted that she would walk down. And hence four of us decided to descend it."
