Hyderabad, 25th May 2022: Telangana’s pride and ace mountaineer Anvitha Reddy Padamati, was given a rousing reception by her fans and the management of Anvita Group, the sponsors of her Everest expedition, at the RGIA Airport, today. Anvitha Reddy was later felicitated at a glittering ceremony by Atchuta Rao Bopanna, Managing Director, Anvitha group and Shekhar Babu Bachinepally, her coach, on her humongous accomplishment of reaching the summit of mount Everest.
Anvitha Reddy set out from Hyderabad for climbing the mount Everest in the first week of April. On reaching Nepal she completed the formalities and began her climb from the Southern side of Mount Everest located in Nepal. After a 9 day trek she reached Mach base camp located at an altitude of 5300 on the 17th April 2022. In the subsequent weeks she completed ‘Rotations’ up the mountain, to acclimatise to the low oxygen levels and reached an altitude of 7,100 mtr. Anvitha Reddy started for the Mount Everest summit from the base camp on 12th May 2022. After going through four camps at different altitudes, she along with her Sherpa guide started from Camp-4 on 15th May 2022 night. She had her dream come true by reaching the Mt Everest summit (8848.86mtr) on 16th May 2022 at 9.30 AM.
I turned ecstatic on reaching the top of the world, a moment I aspired for the last eight years had come true. It was this moment which kept me going despite enormous challenges including convincing my parents who were averse to the adventure sport, financial limitations and more. It was Shri Atchuta Rao Bopanna, Managing Director of Anvita group, who came forward and relieved me of my financial concerns, that enabled me to concentrate on my ambition. I am immensely grateful to Shri Atchuta Rao Bopanna for his kind gesture and to my coach and mentor Shekhar Babu Bachinepally for the grooming, says Anvitha Reddy Padamati. I was educated about the Everest trekking by my coach Shekar sir even before I set out for that. That made me aware of how to go about while trekking on Everest, how to cope with different situations we encounter and how I should be mentally strong to reach the summit. He was confident from the word go about my ability to reach the top of the world. Khumbu icefall is the toughest and the dangerous stretch of the trekking, but I was prepared to trek through it safely and courageously. My trek in -40 degrees weather conditions on Mt Elbrus gave me the confidence to trek on Everest. On May 16th at 9.30 am I reached the summit, that was the most memorable day of my life. The saddest part was seeing dead bodies, I had to pass through two dead bodies of trekkers, though I wasn’t frightened, but felt sad that they couldn’t go back home like me to celebrate the achievement with their families. I began my journey of mountaineering in 2014 at Bhongir rock climbing school and that terrain helped me to train and climb all the mountains till date. Anvita Group’s Atchuta Rao sir approached me after my Elbrus summit and assured to sponsor all my treks thereafter. Everest expedition was expensive but without hesitation Anvita Group sponsored it.
The 24 year old MBA Graduate, Anvitha Reddy hails from a humble middle class family in Bhongir. Her father Madhusudhan Reddy is an agriculturist and mother Mrs. Chandrakala Padamati, works at an Anganwadi school in Bhongir. Though she got interested in rock climbing at an young age of 17 years, she had to take a break from mountaineering for four years to complete her formal education on hers parents’ insistence. The family’s limited means also couldn’t afford to fulfil her ambition of climbing the Mount Everest. It was Anvita Group, with whom she is employed as an Assistant Manager Marketing, had come forward and liberally sponsored the entire expedition expenses.
Anvitha’s unstinted commitment and single minded dedication is what made us to spot a champion in her. We at Anvita Group wanted her to focus on her goal unhindered and did our bit for her to achieving it. Anvita Group will continue to support her to summit different peaks in all the continents in future too, says Atchuta Rao Bopanna, Managing Director, Anvita group.
The iconic Bhongir fort in Anvitha’s neighbourhood inspired her to scale mountains and her Coach a distinguished mountaineer awarded with the ‘Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award’ by the President of India, Shekhar Babu, gave wings to her dreams. She completed her basic training at Rock Climbing School, Bhongir and Basic and Advance mountaineering courses from reputed institutes in India. She extensively practiced climbing at Bhongir and became part of top management of Rock Climbing School, Bhongir. She went on to achieve several laurels including climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak of Africa continent in January 2021; Mount Khadey, the Indian Himalayas – Tso-Moriri, Ladak, in February 2021 and Mt Elbrus, the highest peak of Europe continent in December, 2021. She is the only Indian to achieve this rare feat of climbing Mt Elbrus in winter.
Speaking about Anvitha and her expedition, her coach Mr Shekhar Babu stated ” I am immensely pleased at Anvitha summiting Mount Everest. She prepared and gained the required experience herself in a steady manner. She progressively worked on her goals, acquired knowledge, skills and experience including physical and mental endurance. Very happy for her summit and several more achievements to come.”
Anvitha has received several accolades and appreciations for her accomplishments and the most memorable for her is the President of Russian Mountaineering Federation Mr Abdulkhalim Elmezov complimenting her for being the first Indian to climb Mt Elbrus in winter in biting cold.
