My name is Kalkyn Ashok Thapa, I am a Grade 5 student at Sharanya Narayani International School in Bangalore. My birthday was on 27th January, and before I hit double digits, my final year as a single digit aged kid has been truly an adventure, as I have completed trekking of two base camps and one summit.
My dad promised me pizza again and we talked about our trips and memories while enjoying my favourite food. The experiences I have had before I turned 10 have been amazing and adventurous! _ Kalkyn on his achievements
“The emotional pitch of the story remains high, as Kalkyn survives extreme weather, frustration, exhaustion, and homesickness to reach his goal, with almost palpable elation.”
