Actor Amit Sadh (above) loves climbing and wants to scale Mount Everest for which he has already begun preparatio­ns. At the age of six, Amit started rock climbing and spent most of his childhood in the hills, trekking.

Taking his passion to the next level, the Kai Po Che (2013) actor now aims to conquer the world’s highest peak and is already undergoing basic training for the task.

“I have taken off six months in 2019 to prepare to scale Mt Everest. I plan to stay for a month in Leh, J&K, before I go on the expedition,” Amit said in a statement here.

The actor, who is determined to accomplish the task in 2019, says: “A lot of permission­s have to be taken and it’s not easy to climb Everest. About `35 lakh will be needed for this and currently, I’m in the process of figuring out the logistics. I’m also locking the team that I’ m going to be climbing with,” Amit said.

Meanwhile, he has been roped in for a film, which also features actor Akshay Kumar. He will be essaying the role of a hockey player.
