Nisha Kumari's Mount Everest Expedition
In May of 2023, Nisha became the first person from Vadodara to scale Mount Everest. After unfurling the Indian flag on the summit of Everest, Nisha returned to discover that she was suffering from severe frostbite. She reported to The Indian Express that it was her first time experiencing frostbite, but she was not worried, even though all 10 of her fingers were harshly and equally affected. She said that after her recovery she aims to scale the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on each of the seven continents.
She was treated at INHS Asvini in Mumbai after which she was felicitated by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel in addition to certain universities and schools in Vadodara.
Vadodara to London Cycling Expedition
In her latest endeavour, Nisha has undertaken a 15,000-kilometre cycling expedition over 17 countries and 180 days. She began her journey on 23rd June and travelled 104 kilometres from Vadodara to Ahmedabad. On her second day, she cycled more than 80 kilometres to Mehsana. On the 25th of June, she will be cycling to Palanpur.
In an interview posted on her Instagram page, Nisha said, '' I am an adventurer and cannot stay at home for an entire year. After my Mount Everest expedition last year, I was restless to do something else.'' She also added, ''I know people who have travelled this distance on bikes, so I thought if it is possible on bikes, then why not cycles too.'' She said that some people told her it won't be possible but most of her followers and audience have given her immense support and praise for which she is grateful.
