Arunima started her expedition on 1st April, 2013.When she entered the death zone- 3500 feet from the top of Mount Everest- the most difficult terrain started. She saw dead bodies of mountaineers scattered all around. A Bangladeshi mountaineer took his last breath in front of her eyes. She was frightened but she kept on moving anyhow. She told herself that neither can she go back from here nor she can die before reaching the summit. Seeing Arunima struggling immensely with the artificial leg, her Sherpa kept on advising her to return back. But she did not give up. She told him that she can‟t die before conquering Mount Everest. Thereafter, he started motivating her for the rest of the expedition. She reached the summit of Mount Everest on 21st May 2013- exactly after 52 days. When Arunima reached the top, everything changed; she raised the Indian tricolour and placed some pictures of her idol Swami Vivekananda next to it.
