In a trendsetting initiative, a team of blind and sighted climbers from India and Israel scaled Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak of Africa.

Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania stands at about 4,900 metres from its base, and 5,895 metres above sea level. The team of three blind climbers — two from India and one from Israel — and 10 able-bodied individuals from both countries undertook the expedition from September 8 to 14. The Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF) and Summiting4Hope (S4H) jointly organised what was India's first "inclusive climb" to Africa’s tallest peak. Inclusive expeditions question our rigid views about disability and shatter stereotypes that plague persons with disability (PwDs).
