The 99 years old man told to The Hindu, that he is fancied for the Himalayas since his childhood. One of his neighbors would share his adventure stories with him and this sparked an interest in trekking.  He said, “Its peace will attract anyone.”

The man is a moderate man with simple lifestyle and normal food eating habits lead him to achieve all his desire. The strict vegetarian man does Yoga daily and includes a long walk in his daily routine. A healthy body is thus essential for doing such a task at an age of the 90s.
