I'm Kaamya, a young and aspiring mountaineer, grinding my way to make history for India! At just 16 years old, I'm the youngest girl in the world to summit the highest peaks across six continents, including Mt. Everest. Now, I'm on the cusp of making history by becoming the youngest girl ever to complete the epic Seven Summits challenge.

The Final Summit: Mount Vinson Massif
My last milestone of the Seven Summits challenge is Mount Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica. Scheduled from 18 to 30 December 2024, this expedition will be my most challenging yet; not just physically and mentally, but financially too.

Why Your Support Matters
Mountaineering, especially in extreme locations like Antarctica, requires substantial logistics, which comes with consequential costs of:
- Specialized extreme cold-weather gear
- Travel to the most remote places on Earth
- Extensive logistics and support team expenses


The upcoming expedition to Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica costs INR 55,00,000/-, and I'm in need of INR 25,00,000/- to reach this target by Dec 2024. Your contribution will help me overcome the financial obstacles and focus on the core of my mammoth goal.

A Young Inspiration
My journey began at a tender age of 7 with a trek to Chandrashila Peak. Since then, I have accomplished the following challenging landmarks:
- The youngest Indian and the world’s second youngest girl to summit Mt. Everest from the Nepal side
- The youngest girl to summit Mt. Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America
- The youngest non-American to summit Mt. Denali, the highest peak in North America
- The youngest person to ski down from the summit of Mt. Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe
- The youngest girl ever to climb a peak above 6000 meters (at just 9 years old)


Through these credible feats, I have been fortunate to:
- Recieve the PM Rashtriya Bal Shakti Puraskar, the highest award for Indian citizens below 18 years
Receive appreciation of The Hon. Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi in his Mann ki Baat
- Inspire countless adventurers with my unprecedented accomplishments at a tender age
- Break stereotypes and give wings to the dreams of many young Indians, especially girls, by my display of grit and resolve

Be Part of History
By supporting my endeavour, you’re not just funding an expedition - you’re investing in a young woman’s dream and helping her write a new chapter in mountaineering history. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to the summit of Mt. Vinson Massif.

Appealing to you all to come together and help me plant the Indian Tricolour on the highest peak of every continent!
