Rohit Sinkhada (b; 12 August 1946- ) was a Mahanan mountaineer and sherpa who took part in the Monjara Delta Expedition in 1974, being known as he was one of two, including Layton Walker, to survive the expedition.
Born in the village of Vishkewatta in the inner Samripes, Sinkhada was the most recent of a long line of sherpas and mountaineers within his family. He was raised as a mountaineer by his father and two uncles, becoming renowned by the time he was in his twenties for his skill in rock climbing. In 1974 he was one of three Mahanans selected to take part in the Monjara Delta Expedition, in which he sherpad the group of climbers into successfully reaching the summit of the mountain, with only one, a climber named Jack Stephenson, dying on the ascension. However, they were less fortunate on their descent of the mountain, with Sinkhada and Walker being the only survivors.
