Patna, Bihar: The parents of five-year-old Harshit Saumitra, the youngest climber to reach the base camp of Mount Everest, are trying to register their son's name in the Guinness World Records and Limca Book of Records.
"We will try to get Harshit Saumitra's name in Guinness Book of World Records and Limca Book of Records for becoming the youngest climber to reach the base camp of Mount Everest," his father Rajeev Saumitra told IANS over telephone on Wednesday, five days after he achieved the feat.
The family is currently visiting their native village Jogiyara Pator in Bihar's Darbhanga district.
"I am confident that Harshit's name will get into both the records," he said.
He said Harshit completed the trek to the base point at an altitude of 5,380 metres despite heavy snowfall in the wake of the cyclone 'Hudhud'.
Rajeev Saumitra said Harshit was felicitated with the Nepal Bharat Friendship Society on his feat.
"The foundation's thrust would be to support and help poorest of the poor students for education, health and sports," he told IANS.
