Two Indian women mountaineers, aged in their 20s, and an instructor of the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation (TSAF) have successfully climbed the summit of the Mount Everest.
The two women mountaineers - Poonam and Swarnalata Dalai -- and instructor Sandeep Toliya climbed the summit on Sunday, said Tata Steel, which had sponsored the mission.
