JALANDHAR
A team of ten brave mountaineers from Vajra Corps set out to scale the challenging peaks of Doropi Gangri (5380m) and Labar Peak (4654m) in the Zanskar Mountain Ranges of the Himalayas in Ladakh Region. The mountain expedition, flagged off on September 26, aims to test the participants' resilience, adaptability, and physical and mental endurance.
During their nine-day trek, the team will traverse 120 Km through harsh mountainous terrain, unpredictable weather, and freezing temperatures. With winds howling and temperatures dropping to extremely low, the soldiers will only have their training and each other to rely upon.
The expedition will also serve as a platform for community outreach, and interaction with veterans residing in remote areas and to spread awareness on environmental conservation.
