The Ascent of @priyankamohite11, a Mountaineer Journeys of Inspiration :👇🏻🏂💙 “The mountains are calling, and I must go”, said John Muir and for Priyanka Mohite, that call resonated deeply. From the Sahyadri ranges of Maharashtra, her journey began—a dance between passion and perseverance against the backdrop of the Himalayas. Hailing from Satara, Priyanka’s early training as a dancer laid the foundation for her mountaineering prowess. With her passion ignited, she completed advanced mountaineering courses, preparing herself for the world’s highest peaks. ▪️In 2012, she scaled her first peak, a 6,200-meter giant. At just 20, she faced Everest—a testament to her unwavering spirit. But the mountains are capricious. ▪️In 2014, an avalanche halted her Makalu attempt. Undeterred, Priyanka’s resilience shone through. The setback became a chapter etched in her determination. ▪️In 2018, she became the youngest Indian woman to reach Mt. Lhotse (8,516 meters). ▪️In 2019, she conquered Makalu (8,483 meters), becoming the first Indian woman to do so. She danced with the mountains, each step a choreographed movement. Priyanka’s journey exemplifies the power of dreams. Obstacles became stepping stones, refining her spirit. Her story inspires aspiring mountaineers, especially women, proving that limits are self-imposed. Priyanka is definitely a “hidden diamond” and her achievements earned her the “Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award” from former President Ram Nath Kovind in the year 2021—a tribute to her unwavering spirit. Priyanka Mohite’s story celebrates dreams, resilience, and the allure of the mountains. It resonates with anyone who dares to look beyond the horizon, to dance with their own Everest, to climb their own Makalu. It reminds us that the most breathtaking views follow the hardest climbs. And Priyanka, the dancer turned mountaineer, has shown us all how to dance with the Himalayas. ———— Written by Mayuri G & Lead by Suriya Prakash J - Team Innerpece.
