The President and the Prime Minister of Nepal also felicitated Arjun on this unique achivement.

Since then, Arjun was very keen to share his experiences with the students of Ryan International Schools in Mumbai and thus was invited for an interactive session with the students.

He answered at length various questions posed by the students such as “What are the 5 things he would like to carry with him while Mountaineering”, “What are his future plans”, “Has the emergence of sudden fame affected his studies”, “How does it look from the highest peak of the Mount Everest”, “How big is the summit at the peak”, “How was he get inspired to climb the Mount Everest”, “Which was easier- Climbing up to the peak or returning back” …etc.
