00:03 I had this dream of going to Antarctica.
00:05 When I came back from Antarctica,
00:06 it was one of the biggest inspiration
00:08 I received in my life.
00:09 That's led to the creation of Global Himalayan Expedition.
00:12 But when we started the first expedition in 2013,
00:15 we had to get volunteers in it.
00:16 We had to pay to build up infrastructure.
00:19 And that's what we realized
00:20 we're actually doing a tourism business.
00:22 We've electrified 101 villages,
00:24 almost 700 households,
00:25 more than 5,000 LED lights we have put.
00:28 So till now, we have taken more than 1,200 people
00:31 from more than 65 countries
00:33 who have come to Ladakh to electrify more than 101 villages.
00:37 We have gone to areas which will take
00:38 at least five days to reach.
