This year there would be a record number of adventure junkies (524 men and women) who have reserved their berths for trekking in the cooler climes of Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand. They will be in 14 groups and will be joining Tata Steel Adventure Foundation's (TSAF) annual leadership program to be organized between March 10 and June 6.
This has been reported in
telegrahindia.com dated 6 March 2016.
The number of entries this year is up by 41 this time which means that the craze for the summer program is catching up with thrill enthusiasts because the trips are organized in a safe and hassle-free manner and participants have opportunities to learn a lot in the course of the trek amid nature.
The participants are mostly trade apprentices, junior engineers and experienced professionals and those who have worked elsewhere before joining the steel major. Brief details are - the thrill junkies would stay anchored at a revamped base camp at Kaflo along Gangotri highway for five days and then undertake the trek to 13,500ft Sayari Top.
The participants would get acclimatized at Kaflo by trekking small hills nearby.
