A seven-year-old Hyderabad boy has scaled the world’s largest free-standing mountain and Africa’s tallest one, Kilimanjaro. Virat Chandra achieved the feat on March 6 after a month’s rigorous training with his coach Bharat Thammineni.
Mount Kilimanjaro is 5,686 meters above sea level and is situated in Tanzania.
Last month, a nine-year-old girl Kadapala Rithvika Sri, from Andhra Pradesh, had become Asia’s youngest girl to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
