Abyan (abyan.irkiz) broke the record set by Singaporean Om Madan Garg, who achieved the same feat with his parents in October 2022 at the age of 6 years and 6 months. Speaking to Today, the family said Om served as their inspiration for the trek.⁠
⁠
The idea to attempt the record came after Abyan’s parents organized a yoga retreat in November 2022 in Nepal’s Nagarkot area, where the boy, who was around 4 and a half years old at the time, easily managed a 12-kilometer (7.4-mile) hike, according to the Strait Times.⁠
⁠
“(Abyan) managed to do quite well. And I was quite impressed actually,” Ali told Today. “I was thinking to myself: Hmm, I think maybe he can do it (the Everest base camp hike). With some training, he can definitely do it.”⁠
