Inspiring Others while Aspiring to Climb the Seven Summits

Climbing to the Roof of Africa was quite an experience for Inspired To Explore founder Neil Bhandari, who shared, “Six days of trekking through the lush forest, rain, and difficult terrain were challenging, and getting back down to sea level was another thing!” The team ascended via the Machame Route and reached an elevation of 5,895 m (19,341 ft)


As Neil rang in the New Year, standing on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, he reflected on the journey made possible by the supportive team he climbed with and his incredibly knowledgeable guide, Mr. Tendi Sherpa.


Neil dubs himself an aspiring explorer with a goal of climbing all seven of the Seven Summits. But to all of us at Inspired to Explore, we know and believe that Neil is more than just an aspiring explorer. He inspires us to explore, and we’re thankful for his ongoing adventures and inspiration.
