Women's team of Indian Army sets world records

Siachen, June 10: In a major achievement, All women's team of Indian Army officers, under Col Omender K Pawar, scaled the mighty Mt Bhagirathi II and set a world record for performing yoga at an altitude of 19022 ft.

The team of nine women officers has broken the previous record of Indian Army recorded in the Limca Book of Records for performing yoga at 18800 ft in Siachen Glacier.

Scaling the snow-clad Bhagirathi after the long winters in Garhwal Himalayas is a mean feat.

The expedition that was done in May-June 2018 was to celebrate International Yoga Day (June 21, 2018).
