The Bishop Cotton School, a 21st-century Indian boarding school with British heritage and a global outlook, has reason to celebrate. Its 11-member Jubilee Expedition team successfully reached Mt UT Kangri, Ladakh, at 20,031 feet on August 5.

This is the first time in 25 years of BCS mountaineering expedition history that all team members summited together safely. BCS mountaineering expedition leader, Amod Talwalkar, said: “It’s unbelievable as the entire team summitted in the silver jubilee year of BCS mountaineering history.”
