At 69, Datin Yogaranee Balaratnam is planning to hike up the Mt Everest Base Camp – for the fourth time.
SEXAGENARIAN Datin Yogaranee Balaratnam is living proof that age is just a number when it comes to scaling greater heights. In the last 18 years, Yogaranee, 69, has tested her fitness level, having scaled some of the world’s toughest mountains, including Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (5,895m), Nepal’s Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and Mt Kala Patthar (5,545m) in the Himalayas. In 1997, at the age of 53, Yogaranee chalked up another milestone when she clinched a spot in the Malaysia Book Of Records as the oldest woman in the country to reach the Everest Base Camp.
