Parth Upadhyaya fulfilled his nine year long dream of successfully scaling Mt. Everest summit (8848m) on May 23, 2019. As a professional mountaineer, who has climbed many high peaks including Stok Kangri (over 6000m), he often deals with the gargantuan task of raising funds for mountaineering that is sometimes not considered nor supported as a sport but the wins are celebrated. Parth is currently preparing for his expedition to climb Mt. Annapurna (8091m) on March 24, 2021. His goal is to climb all 14 mountains that are over 8000m. Check out the podcast to listen to his interesting stories during his climb, about his gruelling routine and having the right mindset to conquer a mountain.  You can check out the Maharani Talks on Instagram at www.instagram.com/maharanitalks MUSIC: Lights by Sappheiros https://soundcloud.com/sappheirosmusic
