( News From Nepal's News Paper )
Sudarshan Gautam became the first disabled person to conquer Yala peak thereby recreating history for the disabled individuals the world over. If all goes well, his achievement will more than likely, be recorded in the Guinness book. He hopes that his accomplishment will be a ray of light for all the physically challenged individuals throughout the world. Twenty-five-year-old Gautam scaled the 5732m peak at 3 a.m on Aug 24 with an expedition team led by the fastest climber, Pemba Dorje Sherpa. Gautam had lost his hands to an 11,000 voltage current. His dream is to scale the highest peak in the world in April or May next year if he manages to raise sponsorship for it. “For me, Yala peak is just a ladder to Everest” he said. On reaching the summit, he hoisted Nepal’s and United Nation’s flags. “I felt that I was representing all of the world’s disabled population while climbing” he said at a press meet here recently. “My success is not just mine but it is of the entire 2.4 million physically challenged individuals” he said. In his own words, he is now happy and satisfied to be a disabled. “If both my hands were intact, I would have probably been more of a selfish person living for myself and not for the country” he added. Ang Tsering Sherpa, president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, said Gautam’s successful ascent of Yala peak “will help boost the morale of those with physical disabilities.” According to him, it’s a tough peak to climb in summer since the rock melts making it all the more difficult for the climbers . On behalf of NMA, he handed over a certificate to Gautam for his success. On a similar note, Deepak Mahat, president of the Trekking Agents Association of Nepal, said Gautam’s feat is not only his achievement but also of the entire disabled community.

After accident when I was admitted in Nepal army Hospital in Chauni. In the hospital I was as a dead body, and nobody had thought me that I will be alive and can do everything such as before.
