KATHMANDU: After 10 years of assiduous journey of the World Tour, cyclist Pushkar Shah is now all set to scale the world's highest peak Mt Everest for the world peace. Nepal's first woman sky diver Maya Gurung, who has also scaled the Mt Everest, bade farewell to the cyclist for his Everest mission in a programme organised by Bullet Club. The club also donated Rs 28,017 for his mission. Puskar will begin his Everest mission from April 7. Pushkar, who toured 150 nations across the globe, said scaling Everest would be equally challenging for him. "It took me 10 years to tour the world. Though I can reach the summit within few days, the task would be challenging for me," said the renowned cyclist.
