Kaamya Karthikeyan has proved that bravery knows no age. At 16, she became the youngest Indian to summit the highest peak in the world - Mount Everest (8,849 meters) from the Nepal side.

• A record was set in India by the teen, who also became the world's second-youngest mountaineer to scale Everest on May 20.
• Sixteen-year-old Kaamya is a Class 12 student at Mumbai's Navy Children School. Inspired by her father's love for mountaineering, she began trekking at the age of three.
• What started as an adventure soon led her to more demanding treks, including Har-ki-Dun (13,500 ft), Kedarkantha Peak (13,500 ft), and Roopkund Lake (16,400 ft) in 2016.
• By May 2017, at just 13, Kaamya had trekked to the Everest Base Camp (17,600 ft), making her the second-youngest girl globally to achieve this milestone.
