Climb your own Everest | Kuntal Joisher | TEDxBocconiUMumbai

Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. The world is witnessing a growing acceptance of this way of life, however, there are many myths surrounding a vegan lifestyle. The biggest myth being that followers of veganism cannot reach the level of fitness and endurance that is otherwise attainable by someone who follows an omnivorous diet. What feat could possibly break this misconception? Perhaps, climb an Everest?

He is the world's first vegan based mountaineer to scale Mt.Everest and has led great expeditions to some of the world's most dangerous mountains.
