Gangtok, July 5 -- Sikkim mountaineer Tshering Choden has successfully scaled Russia's Mount Elbrus (5,642 metres), the highest peak in Europe, on Sunday.

She achieved the feat at around 7:30 am (local time) today, the Sikkim Mountaineering Association (SMA) said in a statement.

The successful ascent marks a significant milestone in her mountaineering journey and brings her one step closer to completing the prestigious Seven Summits challenge, which involves climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, the statement said.

Mount Elbrus is Tshering Choden's second successful summit in the Seven Summits mission. She had earlier climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, in August 2025.
