In 2014 thirteen-year-old Malavath Poorna became the
youngest girl to climb Mount Everest. She was living
in a village in the countryside with her parents when
a government organisation chose her and a friend for
the mountain challenge. At the time, Malavath was
looking for a chance to do something different and she
was happy to go. She flew for the first time in her life to
a special mountain centre where she trained for eight
months. The training was hard and sometimes the
temperature dropped as low as -35°C. Malavath also
hated the packaged food that she had to eat. It didn’t
smell nice and she missed her mum’s cooking! The
climb lasted fifty-two days. At times it was dangerous
and they had to walk very slowly, but Malavath didn’t
give up. When she finally raised India’s flag on the
highest peak in the world, she said she felt great and
very proud of herself. Since the climb, Malavath has
gone back to school because she couldn’t study while
she was training. She’s also met the Prime Minister,
who encouraged her to complete her studies. Has the
climb changed her? Definitely! Now she wants to climb
more mountains around the world.
