Meet the Indian twins breaking world mountaineering records

2016-02-23 1

Earlier this year 23-year-old Nungshi and Tashi Malik, twin sisters from Haryana, became the only Indians to complete the ‘Explorers Grand Slam Adventure Challenge’ which is to reach the North Pole, the South Pole and all of the Seven Summits- the highest peaks of every continent. The twins are also the youngest in the world to have completed the challenge.The sisters are now ambassadors of the Beti Bachao movement - an initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prevent female feticide in India. We met with them to talk about their interest in mountaineering, what the future holds for them and how important it is to have each other’s support in this risky sport.
