Bajajs become first father-daughter duo to scale the Mount Everest

Adventurer, Entrepreneur, Padma Shri Award Winner Bajaj and his daughter Deeya Suzannah Bajaj became the first father-daughter duo from India to summit Mount Everest. Deeya, 24, reached the summit from the Tibet-China, or the north side, at 4.30 am on May 15, 2018. Her father joined her 10 minutes later. They have stamped their place in History since this is the first time that a father and daughter have achieved this massive feat together.

Ajeet has more than 30 years of experience in adventure sports, is also known for being the first Indian to have completed the ‘Polar Trilogy’ — or skiing to the North Pole, the South Pole, and across the Greenland Icecap.

Deeya became the youngest person to undertake the Trans-Greenland Skiing Expedition in May 2011, at the age of 17. In 2012, Ajeet and Deeya became the first Indians to ski across the Greenland Ice Cap.

The preparation for the expedition began a year ago, with the two first watching their diets and building up fitness. They subsequently began undertaking high-altitude climbs, going to Ladakh, France, and Nepal between August 2017 and this February.
