Mumbai: Actor Amit Sadh 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 hills trekking.

Taking his passion for climbing mountains to the next level, the "Kai Po Che" actor now aims to conquer the world's highest peak and is already preparing himself to undergo 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.

Amit, who is determined that he will accomplish it in 2019, has been following a strict fitness schedule.

"A lot of permissions have to be taken and it's not easy to climb Everest. About Rs 35 lakh will be needed for this and currently, I am in the process of figuring out the logistics. I am also locking the team that I am going to be climbing with," Amit said.

Professionally, he has been roped in for the Akshay Kumar starrer "Gold" in which he will be seen in the role of a hockey player. He will also been seen in Amitabh Bachchan's "Sarkar 3".
