TRI SERVICES MOUNTAINEERING EXPEDITION SUMMITS MOUNT KHANGCHENGYAO IN NORTH SIKKIM.

The 18 member Tri Services team led by Lieutenant Colonel Mirza Zahid Baig summited Mount Khangchengyao the 4th highest peak in Sikkim and 10th highest in India on 02 Oct 2021. All members of the expedition team braved extreme weather conditions and scaled the heights with unflinching determination raising /Tricolor at summit.

  Mt Khangchengyao at height of 6889 metres is considered amongst the most challenging peaks due to steep climbs, vertical ice walls, freezing temperatures and rarefied atmosphere.

 

   The Tri Services Expedition was flagged off from Gurudongmar Lake on 20 Sep 2021.  The team will now scale down and flagging in is scheduled at Sukna on 08 Oct 2021.

The Expedition was planned in continuation of celebrations to commemorate Golden Jubilee of 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War to honor the valour and sacrifice of soldiers who ensured our victory.
