Jaipur’s Father and Son Duo Reach Mount Kilimanjaro

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Father and son duo from Jaipur, Neeraj Bhardwaj (48) and Aditya Bhardwaj (16) reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro  on Saturday at 10.30 am.  Located in Tanzania in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest stand-alone mountain in the world. This was perhaps the first ever attempt by the Jaipur based father and son duo to climb the peak.

Neeraj Bhardwaj informed that this was an experience of a lifetime. There are no words to explain this experience, he said and added that they felt like they were on top of the world. All their hard work and efforts have finally paid off, said elated Mr. Neeraj. They hoisted the national flag on the summit as well as the flag of St. Xavier’s School, Jaipur.

Neeraj further informed that the climb was a big challenge for them. They began their ascent for the peak at 12 in the night so as to reach by sunrise. The freezing temperatures and strong winds proved to be a major challenge for them.

Father and son reached Stella point which is the second highest point at 9.03 am. The remaining stretch to the Summit took one and a half hours to complete. Both the father and son will reach on 29 June. Neeraj Bhardwaj is a businessman and his son Aditya Bhardwaj is currently in class 12 at St. Xavier’s School in Jaipur. Neeraj is also an alumnus of St. Xavier’s School. Earlier, the father and son duo have trekked the Annapurna base camp in Nepal.

Trekking to Mt. Kilimanjaro is the most desirable trek amongst trekking enthusiasts across the globe. The weather is sub zero and the harsh winds blowing make it all the more difficult for trekking.

Meet Rajasthan’s first female dog trainer

Meet Rajasthan’s first female dog trainer and the only canine behaviourist in the state — Priyanshi Singh Shekhawat. Eight years ago, Priyanshi had just returned to Jaipur from Mumbai after getting a degree in Economics and was unsure about what to do with her life. “I was quite depressed as I didn’t particularly like the work environment in Jaipur and I couldn’t understand what career path to pursue. I was talking to my then boyfriend (now husband), Shardul and a random conversation about my love for dogs led me to pursue a career in this field. I did two courses with Shirin Merchant, who is a pioneer in the field of canine behavior and training in India and that’s how my journey as a dog trainer and behaviourist began.”
