हम सीतामढ़ी जिले के अपने गाँव #सिंहवाहिनी में अपने छत से #MtEverest देख सकते हैं आज। प्रकृति खुद को संतुलित कर रही है। नेपाल के नज़दीक वाले पहाड़ तो बारिश के बाद साफ मौसम में कभी कभी दिख जाते थे। असल हिमालय के दर्शन अपने गाँव से आज पहली बार हुए।#NatureisBalancing@KashishBihar pic.twitter.com/Ss3UHAzxWN

A person on Twitter questioned Jaiswal and asked her how she was sure about the fact that the mountains were indeed from the Himalayan range and that it is Mount Everest. Ritu politely replied to the query and said that she is certain because her husband used to see the peak in the 80s when he was a child. Ritu, in response to another tweet, shared that the aerial distance between Singhwahini and Mount Everest is 194 kilometres.
