Jhansi has long been known as a land of courage, valor, and sacrifice. The bravery of Rani Lakshmibai placed this historic city on the world map and left a timeless message that the spirit of bravery and self-respect lives in the soil of Jhansi.
Inspired by this glorious legacy, Mission Everest is an effort to once again bring Jhansi to international recognition and establish the region on the global mountaineering map.
This mission is not only about reaching the summit of the world’s highest mountain; it is also about reigniting the spirit of courage, dedication, and ambition among the youth of Jhansi and Bundelkhand.
The vision behind this mission is to inspire young people to believe that with determination and perseverance, they can achieve great heights in mountaineering, sports, science, arts, and many other fields, and proudly represent Jhansi at both national and international levels.
Through this initiative, the goal is to write the name of Jhansi in golden letters on the global mountaineering map and inspire the next generation to pursue new heights and create remarkable achievements for the region.
Farhan Hashmi is a professional mountaineer from Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, and one of the first climbers representing the region in high-altitude mountaineering. Coming from a lower middle-class background, his journey is built on passion, determination, and the dream of achieving something extraordinary. He began his adventure journey through Scout & Guide, where he received the Governor Award and President Award for his achievements. Over the years, he developed a deep connection with the mountains and decided to pursue mountaineering as a professional career. Today, Farhan continues to train, climb, and inspire young people from small cities to believe that big dreams can be achieved with dedication and hard work.
Farhan’s mountaineering journey started in 2014 through adventure activities and trekking. His first trekking experience in Pachmarhi and participation in National and International Adventure Camps introduced him to the world of mountains. In 2017, he took his first step into professional climbing by summiting Hatu Peak (3,400 m) in Himachal Pradesh. Later in 2021, he successfully climbed Mt. Pangarchulla (4,575 m) in Uttarakhand, marking an important milestone in his mountaineering career. Since then, Farhan has completed 10+ peaks and expeditions, continuously gaining experience in high-altitude climbing and preparing himself for greater challenges in the Himalayas.
