Answer:
Tanzania
Notes: Five-year-old Teghbir Singh from Ropar, Punjab, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. He started the trek on August 18 and reached the Uhuru peak on August 23. Mount Kilimanjaro stands at over 19,340 feet (5895 meters) in Tanzania. The trek posed challenges like low oxygen and altitude sickness, with temperatures dropping to -10°C. Teghbir received a Mountain Climbing Certificate from Tanzania National Parks. He matched the world record set by a Serbian boy for summiting Kilimanjaro at age five. Teghbir is now the youngest Asian and Indian to achieve this feat.
