In a moment of immense pride for Tripura and India, Piyali Deb has etched her name in history as the first female mountaineer from Tripura to scale Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest peak and one of the tallest mountains in the world.

Her remarkable achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts and support of the Tripura Tourism Department, the South Tripura District Administration, and Weekend Do It Adventure, a reputed travel and adventure company. Key figures who contributed to this mission include Tanay Das and Sujit Debnath, who played pivotal roles in guiding and supporting her journey.

Climbing Mount Elbrus, situated in Russia, is not merely a physical conquest, it is a profound symbol of courage, determination, and global representation. From the heartland of Tripura to the towering heights of the Caucasus Mountains, Piyali’s expedition exemplifies the fearless spirit and aspiration of India’s new generation of adventurers.

Her success serves as a powerful inspiration to dreamers across the country, particularly in the Northeast, proving that no summit is too high when driven by purpose and preparation.

As the Indian flag soared at the top of Mount Elbrus, so did the hopes of countless young Indians who now look up to Piyali Deb as a trailblazer and role model.
