Emirati adventurer Saeed Al Memari has accomplished a remarkable feat in mountain sports by successfully reaching the Summit of Kanchenjunga (8,586m), India's highest peak and the world’s third-highest peak, following a four-day expedition that began at the main base camp last Thursday.

Upon reaching the Summit of Kanchenjunga, Al Memari raised the UAE flag, a portrait of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ministry of Defence flag, and the logo of Calidus Holding, the official sponsor of the expedition.
