The expedition was organized by the renowned Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) in Darjeeling marked the unfurling of the largest Indian flag, measuring an impressive 780 square feet.

From March 5th to March 18th, Kumar embarked on a journey that defied the odds stacked against him.

The expedition culminated in a historic moment as Kumar became the first amputee to unfurl the largest Indian flag, measuring a staggering 780 square feet, atop the majestic Mount Rhenock.
