As a part of commemorative activities for ‘Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav’, symbolising 75 years of Independence, an all women Tri-Services mountaineering team successfully summited Mt Manirang (21,625 ft) on 15 August 2021.
- Mt Manirang is one of the highest peaks of Himachal Pradesh, nestled at the border of Kinnaur & Spiti districts.
- Close to the peak is the Manirang pass, which was one of the early trade routes between Spiti and Kinnaur, before the motorable road was built.
- The 15-member expedition team was led by Wing Commander Bhavana Mehra of the Indian Air Force.
