9 march,agency. Magic boy Aaryan Balaji has created another history adding his name to list of moutaineering veteran by climbing Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro (5895 metres/ 19343 feet) at the age of seven.
He created adventure history by climbing Mt Kilimanjaro on February 25 this year.
Young Aaryan, the son of an Indian Navy officer, is the youngest ever in the world to have trekked all the way to Africa’s highest mountain.
In the process, the seven-year-old defied his age to display his adaptability to the highest standards of physical fitness, mental and moral strength, determination, courage, endurance, a never say die spirit and, above all, perfect teamwork.
Aaryan already has recorded his name in Mount Everest history by trekking all the way to the mountain’s Southern Base Camp in Nepal situated at an altitude of 5364 metres in May 2012. He is also the youngest to climb Mt. Kalapattar (5554 mtrs) on May 15, 2012.
Reaching the base camp below Mt. Everest is considered one of the tough tasks on earth.
The small boy added another achievement to his name when, in March 2012, he became youngest in the world to go for an up to 08 metres maiden undersea dive.
