In a historic feat of human endurance, Rohtash Khileri from Haryana, India, has set a remarkable world record by becoming the first person ever to survive for 24 hours without oxygen on Mount Elbrus, Europe’s highest peak. The achievement has drawn global attention for its extraordinary demonstration of physical resilience, mental strength, and high-altitude adaptation.
Mount Elbrus, standing at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet) above sea level, is known for its extreme weather, low oxygen levels, and life-threatening conditions. At such altitudes, oxygen levels are nearly half of those at sea level, making prolonged survival without supplemental oxygen extremely dangerous.
Rohtash Khileri’s record-breaking endurance challenge pushed the limits of the human body. By remaining on the mountain for a full 24 hours without oxygen support, he achieved something never before documented in the history of high-altitude exploration. Experts say the feat required exceptional lung capacity, rigorous training, and extraordinary mental discipline.
The achievement has been hailed as a proud moment for India, particularly for Haryana, a state increasingly recognized for producing world-class athletes and endurance champions. Supporters and adventure experts have praised Khileri’s courage, preparation, and determination, calling the feat a milestone in human endurance records.
