While sharing about her journey from having a dream of climbing Mt Everest to turning it into a reality. She opined, “Unfurling the national flag on the highest peak was the proudest moment for me. It gave me immense pleasure that my passion and persistent efforts made my country proud. After four years of interminable hard work, on 22 May 2019, I saw my dream come true when I actually realized that I am on the top of the world's highest peak Mount Everest also called "Sagarmatha" in Nepal. I covered 8,848 meters to reach the peak.”
Bhawna is now not only a mountaineer but also a mother. She is managing both the responsibilities well, maintaining her fitness for her next expeditions while also living the most beautiful experience of her life-motherhood. She says “Alison Jane Hargreaves always intrigued me to stick to climbing even during pregnancy. She was six months pregnant with her first child when she climbed to Eiger (Alps). She is among those rare and first climbers who reached the summit of Everest without any support of Sherpas or even bottled oxygen on August 13 1995.”She successfully scaled the highest mountain peak, Mount Everest, on May 22, 2019.
She last climbed Mount Kosciuszko, Australia in March 2020. This was the year when she got married and thought of planning family. "I have continued my fitness training during my pregnancy days too”.
