In April 2021, Priyanaka scaled Mt Annapurna, the world's 10th highest mountain peak at 8091 metres above sea level. She made history as the first Indian woman to accomplish it.

Priyanka had already conquered Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, which stands at 8849 metres. In 2016, she climbed Mount Lhotse (8516 m), the fourth highest mountain in the world, Mount Makalu (8485 m), and Mount Kilimanjaro (5895 m).
