Bamkaji kissing the pinnacle of success

As I read the books written about the mountains, my desire to climb grew. He started learning about what the mountain is, where it is and how to get there,' says Bamkaji from Saniveri-10 Armadanda in Rukum West, 'Then I thought I would climb the mountain and show him something new.' . "After that, I got the courage not only to understand the mountains but also to touch them," he added.

And he stepped forward towards the Manaslu mountain. "After reaching the base camp for about a month of preparation and practice, I successfully climbed Manaslu on October 6, 2076," said Bamkaji proudly. After climbing Manaslu, his desire to climb the mountain grew more and more. Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. But due to the corona epidemic, his journey was interrupted for some time. After the havoc of Corona subsided, in March 2078, they started planning the Everest summit again. On May 25, 2078, his uphill journey towards Mount Everest started from his base camp.

I started my journey with a dream of climbing Mt. But this journey was not as I expected,' he says, 'after reaching the balcony (8 thousand 400 meters) I did not get the guide, even if I was alone, I reached the Hillary Step (8 thousand 790 meters) with the hope that I would leave the peak, but due to technical difficulties. I was forced to return from there.''

'I was confused about what to do after the guide no longer went,' Bamkaji said, 'returning after coming so far was a waste of all my dreams and investment. That's why I decided to make the rest of the journey without Sherpa.' But for the bombers who set out for a new place, a new journey, everything would not be possible on their own. I didn't even have oxygen. On the morning of Baisakh 29, I reached the Hilary stop, then I returned from there when I was unable to go up.'

Until he returned to Camp 4 (7 thousand 950 meters), there was a commotion between the people of the company that took him to the summit. After reaching Camp 4, I was sad that I could not summit, but I was also happy that I survived. And I thought to myself, I almost died because of my own stupidity," he said. Because he neither had enough oxygen cylinders nor the weather was favorable for the summit at that time. Moreover, he did not even have a guide and did not carry a radio set. "Everyone is disappointed because they are out of contact," he said, "when they reached Camp 4, everyone was surprised to see me." "I was going to climb Mt. Everest again, and now I had the courage to climb the highest peaks of the seven continents," he said, "and I started studying about the Seven Summits." And telling about the purpose, Bamkaji says that he is engaged in exploring and studying the mountains. The most difficult thing for me is how to arrange the time. But it is possible because everyone understands my goal," he said.

After the first attempt of Everest was not successful, Bamkaji successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak of the African continent, on October 10, 2080. "I reached the top of Kilimanjaro, which is 5,895 meters high in Tanzania," he said, "Then I went to climb Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe." Deported. He came back feeling sad that the immediate goal was not met. But he did not deviate from the goal of the Seven Summit. After that, I went to Argentina to climb Acancagua, the highest peak in South America. On February 1, I climbed the 6,962-meter high Akancagua, he said.

After working regularly for some time, Bamkaji's next goal was to climb Mount Everest. Having failed once, he successfully climbed Mount Everest on the morning of June 6. After starting the journey from Kathmandu on May 5, I reached the summit of Everest this time, he said, 'Oh, I can't describe the happiness of that time in words.' After climbing Mount Everest with the experience of climbing Lobuche Peak and 2 foreign mountains, Bamkaji considered one step of his goal accomplished. After that, he went back to Russia once. Last July 23, I also climbed the highest peak of the European continent, Elbrus. I recently returned to my country after climbing this 5,642-meter-high mountain,” he said.

He is on a journey to reach the summits of seven continents by creating a campaign called 'Yatri Ko Yatra'. Bamkaji says that he is making necessary preparations to climb the highest peaks of the remaining 3 continents. "I am making necessary preparations for North America, Australia and Antarctica," he said. Bamkaji, who took necessary permission from his office and taluk body to climb the mountains, also claims that he is the only civil servant who has successfully climbed the highest peaks of four of the seven continents. And, he believes that this record will be stronger in the coming days.

Among the seven children of Baba Tilbir and Ama Bhumika, Bamkaji, the third child, has a wife and a daughter. According to him, about 30 to 35 lakh rupees have been spent so far for mountain climbing. "This has been possible with the help of my rural municipality Saniveri, Khanikhola of Kavre and Sunapati rural municipality of Ramechhap and friends, well-wishers and relatives living in the country and abroad," he said. Bamkaji says that he has set out on a great journey to climb the mountains to convey a positive message by turning his bitter experience of being racially and geographically oppressed into power.
