Skalzang Rigzin
An indomitable and resilient athlete from #Ladakh, and the #first #Indian civilian to summit Mt. #Everest without supplemental #oxygen. With over 30 summits to his name and more than two decades of experience scaling the world’s highest peaks, he is one of India’s most accomplished and revered mountaineers.

It is with immense respect and admiration that I welcome my guest on @StorieswithVenky—none other than the legendary Skalzang Rigzin.
