Bhubaneswar, Jan 30: A two-year-old from Scotland has become the youngest to person to reach Mount Everest base camp. 

According to reports, Carter Dallas climbed to the south side of Nepal, at an altitude of 17,598 feet above the sea level, on his father Ross' back. 

The toddler's mother Jade was walking alongside the duo. The family is on a year-long trip around Asia, and their son is believed to have broken the world record previously held by four-year-old Zara from the Czech Republic.

"Carter coped better than me and his mom. We both got slight altitude sickness but he was absolutely fine," the boy's father was quoted as saying by the report.

Ross and his wife bought three one-way tickets for a year of travelling in 2023 after renting out their house in Scotland. 

They flew to India before visiting Sri Lanka and the Maldives, said the report.

The family is hoping that Carter's world record is confirmed. The current record holder is Zara who made the 274 km journey to the base camp.
