Kaamya Karthikeyan, a 17-year-old mountaineer, is set to embark on her most ambitious expedition yet: summiting Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica. This climb will mark the completion of her Seven Summits Challenge, making her the youngest girl in the world to conquer the highest peak on all seven continents. Supporting her on this extraordinary journey is Bisleri Vedica Himalayan Spring Water, sourced from the Himalayas, embodying her spirit #FullOfAltitude.

Bisleri Vedica backs Kaamya Karthikeyan’s historic attempt to accomplish the Seven Summits

A student at Navy Children School, Mumbai, Kaamya is the daughter of Commander S. Karthikeyan of the Indian Navy and Mrs. Lavanya Karthikeyan, an early childhood educator. On May 20, 2024, she scaled the summit of Mt. Everest at the age of 16, becoming India’s youngest climber and the world’s second youngest to achieve this feat from the Nepal side. She is also the youngest girl to have summited the highest peak on six continents barring Antarctica. Her outstanding accomplishments have not only earned her the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Shakti Puraskar, India’s highest national honour for young achievers in 2021, but also accolades from the Hon. Prime Minister himself in his Mann-ki-Baat.

Commenting on this association, Jayanti Khan Chauhan, Vice Chairperson, Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd. said,“We are incredibly proud to support Kaamya Karthikeyan as she embarks on this historic expedition to accomplish the Seven Summits, and we wish her all the best as she aims to achieve this monumental feat. Were thrilled to be a part of her journey, fueling her passion and perseverance with our support. Kaamya embodies the spirit #FullOfAltitude, and we cant wait to see her reach new heights.”

Having successfully conquered six of the Seven Summits, Kaamya is now training intensely to tackle the vagaries of Mt. Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica, standing at 16,050 feet. Her expedition to this peak at the remotest location of the planet will require enduring extreme weather conditions, freezing temperatures with the mercury dipping to -40℃, and unpredictable winds reaching unimaginable speeds.

Reflecting on her upcoming adventure, Kaamya Karthikeyan remarked, “Summiting Mt. Vinson Massif is the befitting climax of a dream I’ve pursued for years. It’s the culmination of my journey across the seven continents. With Bisleri Vedica’s support, I’m feeling not just empowered for the endeavour but also reminded of the purity and strength that’s needed for such a challenge. Through mission SAHAS, my journey of the Seven Summits, I hope to inspire young Indians to believe in their dreams, to push limits, and to always aim for higher ground.“

Kaamya Karthikeyan has already inspired countless young Indians with her passion and achievements. Her high-altitude escapades in the Himalayas started when she was just seven, including scaling Mt. Stok Kangri at age nine, becoming the youngest girl to summit a peak over 20,000 feet. Her list of impressive feats is long, from skiing down Mt. Elbrus in Russia to summiting Mt. Denali in Alaska, and with her upcoming venture, she stands poised to make history once more.

This partnership with Kaamya Karthikeyan embodies Vedicas mission to support young achievers who are driven by their passions and goals. Kaamyas journey aligns with Vedicas values of purity, strength, and the pursuit of excellence. We will chronicle Kaamyas journey, sharing her inspiring story of grit and determination, and showcasing what it means to be #FullOfAltitude.
