Breadwinner at 22, Mt Everest at 24: The amazing story of Kabak Yano

The story behind Kabak Yano, a Post Graduate Diploma student in Fitness Management at the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) campus in Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, summiting Mount Everest on May 21, 2024, is extraordinary and inspiring.

To fund her education and household expenses, she engaged in various jobs which instilled in her resilience and determination, which proved to be vital traits in her pursuit of mountaineering endeavours.

She became the fifth woman climber from Arunachal Pradesh and the first woman from the Nyishi community to achieve such a feat.
