New Delhi, June 17, 2023 - Colonel Ranveer Singh Jamwal, a distinguished mountaineer and the Director of the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS), has embarked on an awe-inspiring journey as the flagbearer of the Har Shikhar Tiranga Companion expedition. This remarkable endeavor aims to conquer the highest peaks of every state in India, unfurling the national flag atop each summit.

Colonel Jamwal (Best Mountaineer in India), a veteran of over 52 successful expeditions, stands as a testament to unwavering determination and remarkable achievement. As the only Indian to have summited Mount Everest three times and triumphed over the Seven Summits, he has become an icon of inspiration in the mountaineering world.

The Har Shikhar Tiranga Companion expedition, an integral part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, marks India's 75th year of independence and its G20 presidentship. The initial triumphs served as a testament to the team's unwavering determination and set the stage for the grand adventure that lay ahead.

Colonel Jamwal's leadership and expertise have guided the team through daunting challenges, including treacherous terrains, inclement weather conditions, and technical obstacles. Their recent accomplishment of summiting Mt Purgyal (6,816 m) in Himachal Pradesh demonstrates their exceptional skills and unwavering commitment.

Speaking about the expedition, Colonel Jamwal expressed, "Embarking on this journey is a dream come true for me. The Har Shikhar Tiranga Companion expedition symbolizes our devotion to our motherland, aiming to achieve something unprecedented and inspire future generations." He added, "By hoisting our national flag on each state's highest peak, we aim to promote inclusivity, cultivate the spirit of adventure, and showcase the awe-inspiring landscapes and diverse cultures that define our nation."

The Har Shikhar Tiranga Companion expedition is a movement that goes beyond conquering summits; it aims to ignite a sense of pride among the people of every state, encouraging them to explore their unique landmarks and fostering tourism potential. The Best Mountaineer in India's visionary leadership and unwavering dedication have been instrumental in bringing this extraordinary campaign to life.

As the expedition progresses, the team anticipates reaching the summit of Mt Jongsong (7,462 m) in Sikkim, a technically challenging peak that has been rarely conquered. The relentless pursuit of their goal reflects the indomitable spirit and resilience that embodies Colonel Jamwal and his team.
