Scaling the world’s highest mountains may seem daunting to many of us but for experienced mountaineer Ravichandran Tharumalingam, known to many Malaysians as Ravi Everest, nothing is impossible. Having scaled Mount Everest thrice, Ravi dreams to conquer the 14 highest mountain peaks in the world, all with an altitude of over 8,000 meters, in four years.

The challenge begins this year with the ‘Himalaya Sports Everest-Lhotse Expedition 2023’ which will see the 58-year-old Ravi scaling the world’s first and fourth highest mountains standing at an altitude of 8,848m and 8,516m respectively

The expedition is scheduled to begin in April at the Mount Everest basecamp with a month-long preparation before the actual 5-day trek which will see his back-to-back ascent of Everest and Lhotse sometime in May.

The world’s fourteen highest peaks are located along the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges in China, Nepal, Pakistan and India. In descending order, they are Mount Everest, Godwin Austen (K2), Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri I, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna I, Gasherbrum I (K5), Broad Peak (K3), Casherbrum II (K4) and Shishapangma.

“Many mountaineers dream to complete this ambitious double-summit feat and I have set this new challenge for myself as part of my goal to climb fourteen highest peaks in less than four years. This back-to-back ascent will make my fourth expedition to Mount Everest more difficult than my previous climbs but it reflects my life’s motto – challenge your summit – which calls on us to constantly raise our bar so that we can achieve our very best,” said Ravi who also lost eight fingers as a result of frostbites from his first solo expedition to Mount Everest but did not let that disability get in the way of continuing his passion for mountaineering.

Ravi holds two Malaysia Book of Records as the nation’s first solo climber to conquer Mount Everest in 2006 and again in 2022 when he conquered K2, the second highest peak in the world. Both times, the proud Malaysian displayed the Jalur Gemilang at the top of the world and he hopes to be able to bring glory to the nation by planting the Malaysian flag on all 14 peaks and being the first South East Asian to do so.

Datuk Kenny Low, the founder and managing director of Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn. Bhd. which owns Himalaya Sports said, “Himalaya Sports encourages more Malaysians to adopt active lifestyles for their physical and mental well-being. We are blessed with good weather and beautiful nature so even if we are not climbing mountains we can always hike, cycle or swim. We hope that by sponsoring Ravi and helping him achieve his dreams, it will inspire more Malaysians to embrace a positive can-do attitude and persevere in their passions.”

Himalaya Sports is made from natural Himalayan salt and comes in two flavours – Lemon and Ginger Lemon. Ideal for people with active lifestyles, the fortified mint candy helps improve hydration, soothes throat, and keeps breath fresh. It also offers the new Himalaya Vajomba range which is available in two variants, Himalaya Vajomba Honey Lime Mints and Himalaya Vajomba Actiwhoosh Mints.

Certified Halal by JAKIM, Himalaya Sports and Himalaya Vajomba is manufactured by local candy confectionary company, Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn. Bhd., which has presence in 10 countries around the Asia Pacific region.

  4. All the best kepada Encik Ravi. Pasti pengembaraan untuk ke puncak Gunung Everest sudah bermula. Tak sabar nak tengok Jalur Gemilang dipacak di sana. Terima kasih Himalaya Sports Malaysia beri sumbangan. Jika tiada sumbangan, pasti ekspedisi ini tidak akan terlaksana. Semoga Encik Ravi sihat sepanjang pendakian.
