A year from turning 60, the only number that former beauty queen and active mountaineer Sangeeta Bahl is bothered with is the number of peaks she has scaled. Literal mountain peaks. Having scaled six of the 바카라Seven Peaks바카라 treks spread across the globe, Bahl now has her eyes set on Denali, the seventh and her last. But the last three times have brought her no luck.
Bahl scaled Mt Everest in 2018 at the age of 53, becoming the oldest Indian woman to do so. But Bahl wasn바카라t always interested in scaling mountains. In fact, she had a successful career as an air hostess. Her first summit was at the ripe age of 47 when she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, along with her husband. That was followed by Mount Elbrus in Europe. The couple then became the third and fourth Indians to climb Mount Vinson in Antarctica and also scaled Mount Aconcagua in South America and Mount Kosciuszko in Australia. The athlete in her is not done yet.
Since 2022, Bahl has been training people for Everest Base camp under her company 바카라Impact Mountaineering바카라. 바카라Many people just under or over 50 show up and I love to encourage them. After all, climbing can restore new life in people,바카라 she states. The former Miss India participant nevertheless advises caution. 바카라It바카라s not for everyone,바카라 she says.
With her dedication to sports and fitness, Bahl also likes to challenge gender norms and sexism. 바카라Women who like to dress up or show interest in make-up are often not considered 바카라sporty바카라. I want to change such attitudes,바카라 Bahl states. A big fan of 바카라dressing up바카라 and make-up herself, Bahl believes that a healthy lifestyle and exercise are key to looking beautiful but also adds that age and beauty are not exclusive concepts and believes that beauty is not defined by age but by one바카라s actions.
Having grown up in a conservative family in Jammu, Bahl had to give up some forms of sports like swimming. 바카라Something about getting wet in a public pool made my conservative father uncomfortable, which meant that I ended up never learning to swim,바카라 she recalls. 바카라It was always a sore thumb for me바카라. In the last year, Bahl proudly says that she learned swimming in just a span of two months. 바카라I never want to stop learning new things,바카라 she gushes.
On her 60th birthday, Bahl hopes to scale her seventh peak. The athlete nevertheless has a backup plan, just in case she remains fourth time unlucky. 바카라I will take part in the Triathlon, now that I know swimming. Hell, I might even try crossing the English Channel! I will never stop being the oldest at something, that바카라s for sure,바카라 she laughs.
