Mohan Singh Gunjyal
Maj. Harsh Vardhan Bahuguna (1939 – April 18, 1971) was a leading mountaineer of India and a military personnel. He lost his life in the international expedition on Mount Everest on April 18, 1971. That was his second attempt. He had to abort his first expedition in 1965 just 400 feet short of the summit. He was instructor of skiing and mountaineering at the High Altitude Warfare School, Gulmarg and had successfully climbed many mountains. He was posthumously awarded the Padma Shri by Government of India in 1972.
Fourteen years later, in October 1985 his younger brother, Major Jai Vardhan Bahuguna, also lost his life in an Mount Everest expedition of the Indian Army, along with four other army officers. Neither of the brothers would summit Mount Everest and both died near the same area in their second attempts.
