Team Har Shikhar Tiranga led by Colonel Ranveer Singh Jamwal of the Indian Army climbed Mount Jongsong (7,462 metres) in just 10 days.

Colonel Jamwal has scaled Mount Everest thrice and has been awarded the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award in 2013.

Har Shikhar Tiranga is a campaign that involves hoisting the national flag on the highest peak in every state in India.

The team involves 20 men, both from the army and civilian.
