【题目】阅读以下短文，根据短文后的要求答题。答案不超过5个词

Like many other primary school pupils, nine-year-old Minnal went abroad with her parents during the recent school holidays. It may come as a surprise to learn that she neither shopped at a mall nor ate at a fancy restaurant. She climbed a mountain.

For eight days in May, Minnal hiked nearly 100 kilometres to reach the 5364-metre-high Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) base camp in Nepal. The girl talked about her special trip, “I thought this was the most meaningful trip for me.” It has not been confirmed(证实) if the Primary Four pupil is indeed the youngest Singaporean to reach the base camp, as no such records are kept.

Everest’s south base camp in Nepal is where climbers planning to climb the world’s highest peak, stay to get used to the altitude(海拔高度). However, Minnal can’t climb the peak(山峰), because climbers have to be at least sixteen years old to climb the peak.

How did it all start? It all began last year when Minnal’s mother decided she might want to climb the famous Himalayas. As a good hiker, she asked both father and daughter if they were up for the challenge. On 20 May, 2016, the family flew to Nepal.

Minnal shared that most of the eight days were spent hiking ten to fifteen kilometres from 8a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, with the help of three local guides. Luckily, she added, nobody fell ill with altitude sickness. She also said that she is thinking of climbing Everest in the future.
