It is a journey undertaken to "push boundaries".
Najira Noushad, a 33-year-old homemaker from Mahe who began solo hitchhiking last month from the low-lying Kuttanad, has achieved her goal of reaching the Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
The mother of five completed the most arduous part of the trip, a trek from Lukla (2,860 metres above sea level) to the Everest Base Camp (5,364 metres above) in five days. She is probably the fastest Indian woman to complete the approximately 62 km journey braving snowstorms and navigating through rough, rocky and steep terrains.
