To greater heights: NLSIU grad Aparna Kumar completes Seven Summits challenge

IPS officer Aparna Kumar has scaled Mount Denali, the highest peak in North America, to complete the ‘Seven Summits’ challenge.

Aparna Kumar, who is a graduate of National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore, is currently serving as Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. She is a 2002 batch UP Cadre IPS officer, who has been posted at the Northern Frontier Headquarters of ITBP in Dehradun.

She has now scaled the seven highest summits of each continent, becoming the first civil servant to do so. She had scaled Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, back in 2016.

In January this year, Kumar had completed an expedition to the South Pole. She embarked on a trip to the North Pole in April this year.
