Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Pushkar Singh Dhami flagged-in the 17-member Indian Coast Guard (ICG) mountaineering team at a grand ceremony on October 12, 2026 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The team successfully scaled Mount Mukut, a 7,045-metre peak, on October 7, 2026, under the expert guidance of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI), Darjeeling.
The expedition marked Phase V and the final milestone of an intensive 18-month preparatory training programme, aimed at preparing the team for the ultimate challenge of scaling Mount Everest during the ICG's Swarnim Jayanti celebrations in 2027. It commenced on September 15, 2026, with the team establishing Base Camp-I on October 1 before overcoming extreme weather conditions to reach the summit. The operational experience and valuable lessons gained during the successful expedition will serve as a crucial foundation for the team's final preparations for the historic Mount Everest expedition in 2027.
The Uttarakhand Chief Minister commended the team's exceptional grit and endurance, stating that the achievement exemplifies courage and national pride. Additional Director General Indian Coast Guard, Anand Prakash Badola also congratulated the team for its exemplary teamwork in navigating the challenging Himalayan terrain.
