Trekking Club
A team of six young, active, adventure-loving final year students made a most tortuous 90 km trek to the Pindari Glacier. Putting their lives at risk this team successfully scaled the glacier and reached the very source of the Pindari river at a height of 3897 m above sea level. The Himalayas are not nice hosts and the members braved hail and landslides. One of the team members was injured while escaping from wild animals. The team members were: Rahul Gupta, Rajat Mamgain, Nitin Tewari, Rajat Goel, Stanzin Tsesdup and Pulkit Midha. More details at http://pindaritreks.blogspot.com/
