I am Lakshmikanta Mandal, Constable of West Bengal Police and an Everest Summiteer.
My mission is to inspire others through my 8K Summits journey.
I was born and raised in Mathuri, Dhalhara — a small village in West Bengal. Life was simple, but dreams were big.
After joining the West Bengal Police as a Constable, I discovered my true calling: mountaineering.
From training in the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute to climbing peak after peak, my journey has been about discipline, courage, and self-belief.
In 2025, I fulfilled my biggest dream — summiting Mount Everest.
Now, through my 8K Summits Mission, I climb to inspire others and show that no background is too small for big dreams.
Coming from a small village and serving as a Constable in West Bengal Police, my journey to high altitudes was never easy.
But with discipline, hard work, and courage, I crossed every barrier — from tough training to standing on the summit of Everest.
Today, through my 8K Summits Mission, I aim to inspire others to break their own limits.
Through my expeditions, I aim to inspire others in the Police community and beyond to pursue their dreams, no matter how challenging they may seem. Every summit I reach is a victory not just for me, but for everyone who has ever been told they can't.
Follow my journey as I tackle each of the 8k Summits. Your support means everything, and together we can show the world that determination knows no bounds.
