Narender Yadav, a native of Nehrugarh, 5 km away from here, has become the youngest mountaineer of Haryana and the second youngest in India, by scaling Mount Everest at the age of 20. He was a member of the SST Everest Expedition, 2016, Spring Team, which recently scaled the 8,848 metre-high Mount Everest. Residents of his native village accorded Narender a warm welcome on his arrival in the village a few days ago. His kin also distributed sweets in the village.

Narender, a mast degree holder in Method of Instructions (MoI), is the third mountaineer from Rewari district after Santosh Yadav and Sunita Choken to achieve this feat. Santosh is the first woman in the world to climb Mount Everest twice in 1992 and 1993 while Sunita scaled the peak in 2011.

The villagers urged the state government to honour Narender with a cash prize and a job for his achievement, pleading that he was entitled to the same honour as accorded to Mamta Sodha.

Narender told The Tribune that he had been able to make it the third time as his earlier two attempts to scale Mount Everest in 2014 and 2015 failed owing to avalanche threat.
