He deserves the recognition but 7 summits is nothing burgers in front of 8000ers. 

7 summit is thigh slapping, you can climb Mount Kosciuszko, Vinson Massif like an evening walk, all you need is money and an expedition company. Even Mt. Everest is now the easiest 8000er all you need is 100k and a little training, sherpas will take care of the rest.

Kolkata:

Bharath Thammineni, a 36-year old mountaineer from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh, on Tuesday became the first Indian to summit all nine of the world's 14 highest peaks, after successfully climbing Mt Cho Oyu (8,188m), the sixth-highest mountain, sources close to the climber claimed.

 

Prior to this latest achievement, Thammineni had summited Mt Everest in May 2017, Mt Manaslu in September 2018, Mt Lhotse in May 2019, Mt Annapurna in March 2022, Mt Kanchenjunga in April 2022, Mt Makalu in May 2023, Mt Shishapangma in October 2024 and Mt Dhaulagiri in April 2025 - all 8,000 plus metre peaks, they said.

Achieve what bhayya Malli mastan babu did seven summits, that's different. Seven summits is 7 peaks in all continents.. except Denali and Everest all are < 6000m peaks. 

8000ers are mountains above 8000m height. They were accomplished by < 50 people on earth. 

Indians can't access 5 of them because they are in PoK (K2, Nanga parbat etc.). 

Till now no Indian did all the remaining 8000ers. This is the first time an Indian did the remaining all 9 8000ers outside of Pakistan

8000ers are major accomplishment because beyond 8000m there's only 30% oxygen and there are legends who climbed them without oxygen cylinders. That's why 8000+ altitude is called Death Zone

33% of people who climb Annapurna die on the mountain. 22% for Kanchenjunga. That difficult it's to climb them
