A group of trekkers from Mysuru and Hassan have returned safely after a five-day-long trek in the picturesque Himalayan valleys of Himachal Pradesh, parts of which were battered by heavy rains and landslides last week. The seven-member team led by veteran trekker and adventure sports enthusiast D.S.D. Solanki trekked through lush greenery, and past the crystal clear waters of streams and lakes in the backdrop of snow-capped mountain peaks for five days and four nights in Kullu region starting July 22. They braved incessant rains and cold weather, besides being stranded on the roads during their journey from Chandigarh to the base camp at Chheti in Kullu district and back. They completed their 41-km-long trek from Hampta valley to Spiti valley situated at a height of 14,100 ft. in the Pir Panjal ranges of the Himalayas.More Related News
