The foundation’s success is a testament to the dedication and hard work of its staff and climbers.
Over the years, the foundation has fostered the development of adventure sports in India, with its climbers conquering the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.
As of today, TSAF has proudly supported 12 climbers in their victorious ascent to Everest’s summit.
