After climbing the highest peak of the continent Africa 'Mount Kilimanjaro' on Diwali, Indian Mountaineer Bhawna Dehariya successfully climbed the another highest peak of Australia 'Mount Kosciuszko' on the day of festival Holi, on Monday.

Disseminating the beauty of Indian culture at the peak, Dehariya played colours and promoted Indian culture.

Talking about journey, Dehariya said, "I feel fortunate enough that I celebrated two biggest festivals of India at the mountain peaks. Earlier also I did my Africa summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on the occasion of Diwali on November 27, 2019 and this time also I did my summit of Australia on the occasion of Holi. Thus, these summits will be so memorable to me."

This summit was supported by the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board (MPTB)", for which Dehariya has expressed her gratitude towards the board wholeheartedly.

Dehariya reached Australia on March 6 and completed the summit on March 10. She unfurled the national tricolor flag at the peak. “Happy Holi to all my near and dear once from the Highest Peak of Australia Continent Mount Kosciuszko,” she tweeted.

Besides, she promoted the Madhya Pradesh 'Tourism' and 'Adventure Sports' by displaying banner at the peak. She also met Indian Ambassador there and will return to Bhopal on March 12 on Wednesday.

Notably, Bhawna is one among the first women from Madhya Pradesh to climb the Mount Everest on May 22, 2019. She has also climbed Mount Aconcagua, South America reaching height of 6,500 meters on December 31, 2019; Mount Manirang, Himachal Pradesh, covering 6,593 metres summit in August 2018 and Mount DKD 2nd (5,670 metres) Ghadwal summit in 2017. Dehariya’s feat is being celebrated in Madhya Pradesh with people of her hometown praising her for her hard work and dedication.
