The Border Security Force (BSF) has scripted history as its first all-women Mount Everest expedition team successfully scaled the world’s highest peak under ‘Mission Vande Mataram’, marking a major milestone in the force’s journey.
On May 21, 2026, at around 8 AM, team members Constable Kausar Fatima, Munmun Ghosh, Rebecca Singh, and Tsering Chorol reached the summit of Mount Everest, standing tall at an altitude of 8,848.86 metres.
