Adrenalin Junkies- Jayanthi And Johann Summiting Mount Everest On An Adventure Of A LifeTime
Taking a giant leap of faith Jayanthi Kuru-Utumpala made history as the first Sri Lankan to reach the summit of Mount Everest, while her climbing partner Johann Peries was denied the chance due to a technicality, he too has earned the respect of the nation for his attempt at summiting Mount Everest. Realising a lifelong ambition this duo with a penchant for mountaineering all over the world has shown Sri Lanka a glimpse of what teamwork is all about. If lessons can be learnt from this amazing feat it is how Johann supported Jayanthi in her quest to conquer Mount Everest when the odds were against him. A fantastic achievement, it was indeed a united Sri Lanka that celebrated when Jayanthi unfurled the Sri Lankan flag on top of Mount Everest, a first for her and a first for Sri Lanka.

Asanka De Mel is dogged in his determination to make the sarong an outfit of choice for not only Sri Lankans but for gentlemen around the world. By showcasing his collection in Paris, Lovi Ceylon is one step closer in their journey to global domination.
