Lakshmikanta

I am Lakshmikanta Mandal, a serving Constable in the West Bengal Police and a proud Everest Summiteer (May 19, 2025).Born in the village of Mathuri, Dhalhara in Purba Medinipur, my life has always been guided by discipline, courage, and an extraordinary dream — to climb the world’s greatest mountains.

Through Lucky Altitude, my mission is to inspire people through real stories of resilience, survival, and limitless determination.

My Story

My journey into mountaineering began in 2018, when Shri Manoj Kumar Verma, IPS, discover  something in me that even I didn’t see in myself.With his encouragement, I got the opportunity to join the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI), Darjeeling, where I completed:

Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC)

Advanced Mountaineering Course (AMC)

Search & Rescue (S&R)

From that moment, mountains became my main focus.

In 2024, under the leadership of legendary mountaineer Mr. Ramesh Roy, I climbed Mt. Pinnacle (6940m) — a challenging pre-Everest expedition that shaped my confidence and my future.

Supported by Ld. Commissioner of Kolkata Police, Shri Manoj Kumar Verma IPS, and with the blessing entire Kolkata Police family, I completed two major achievements in Nepal:

1)Lobuche Peak Summit — Nepal

2)Mount Everest Summit (South Route) — May 19, 2025

What began in a small village has now reached the world’s highest peak — and the journey continues.

Breaking Barriers

I did not came from privilege.There were no shortcuts, no sponsors, no special background.

What I had was grit, discipline, and an unshakeable belief that hard work can rewrite destiny.

Every climb for me is a fight against limitations — physical, financial, and social.

And each summit is a message:

If you don’t stop, mountains will move.

Through Lucky Altitude, my mission is clear:To complete the 8K Summits Challenge — climbing all eight 8000-meter peaks of Nepal.

To represent India on the world’s highest mountains with pride and responsibility.

To inspire the next generation to dream big, work hard, and push beyond fear.

To bring the spirit of adventure, discipline, and resilience into everyday life.

This mission is not just only mine — it belongs to everyone who believes in rising above circumstances.
