The first leg of journey involved crunching a distance of 1612km on the saddle, from Manali to the base camp at Kyirchu (15,110ft) via Sarchu (14,700 ft), Tsokar (14,860ft) and Korzak (14,836ft). The second leg and, in turn, the challenge itself, concluded on August 29, 2016, when the team scaled the summit and hoisted the Indian tricolour at Chamser Kangri in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir. The journey was then submitted to Limca Book of Records in December 2016. And finally, after verification, a panel of jury awarded the team with the world record in April 2018.
