The compelling story of Satyarup Siddhanta
A journey from being an Asthmatic kid to a mountaineer
And his journey continues to experience
The highest level of endurance a human being can go through , the ultimate test of mental strength a human can give…the highest point on earth a human feet can reach … Mt Everest!
one impossible dream …
and an inspiration to many

2. Dreams and Ambitions were caged for years …
Dream Big!
Dreams and Ambitions were caged for years …
“In school sports, I couldn’t run those 100 meters without keeping an inhaler in my pocket ready. That didn’t stop me from dreaming big”

3. Grit , Determinations and Will Power can move Mountains
“Once I was in College, I realized I needed to reduce my dependency on inhalers. I was also allergic to many foods which triggered asthma. I struggled for years, continuously challenging myself by not using the inhalers and by consuming more and more of those foods I was allergic to, without taking anti-allergic medicines.
I thought I would die …many a times!
But I didn’t give up! I wanted to push limits to see how far I can go with it! Finally, with exercises, discipline, diet and some considerable will power & determination, I got rid of Asthma!”
… inspired by Life!

4. Today I have climbed 4 of the 7 highest mountains of each continent and aiming for Mt Everest.
So far I have self funded myself, however, this climb needs huge financial support for which I have reached out to you.
Through my climbs,
I want to inspire people and spread the message that nothing is impossible. No obstacles are big enough to stop them from dreaming big!
 I want to instill confidence in millions of young people suffering from asthma about ridding themselves of the disease and leading a normal life.
All of us has an Everest deep within us! I want to inspire people such that they can climb their own Everest.
Give me wings to fly!
