8 Missing Trekkers Rescued From Chandrakhani Pass

 

 

Eight Trekkers from Institute of Engineering and Technology (SLIET), in Punjab's Longowa consisting of 7 current students and a senior had left for the Chandrakhani Pass Trek on 10th of March, 2016 starting from Naggar valley of Manali to Kullu via Malana. Heavy snowfall and dense fog engulfed had them and they had taken shelter in a cave near Chandrakhani Pass.

They were lucky that they could make call and alert the local police administration about their stranded condition through the local guide who had accompanied them. The administration  initiated their rescue operation and  about 50 ITBP personals were deployed in a search and rescue operations to rescue the 8 stranded trekkers. The weather conditions didn't quite favour rescue operation and 6 of them were finally rescued on 13th and the rest 2 were rescued on the morning of 14th.

The trekkers have been identified as Hitendra Sharma from Theog, Chetan Chori and Saurav Sharma from Ambala, Ankush Kumar from Gurdaspur, Rohit Kumar from UP's Bhagpat District, Anil Kumar from Hamirpur, Akshay Kumar Bura from Chamba and Bharat Prakash from Kullu District

All of them are fine currently.

View User Profile for Suman A Loyal Himalayan Lover, Trekker, Mountaineer, Photographer and Researcher. A Computer Science Engineer by education and Ex. Software Developer for the IT companies. He has learnt from mistakes and not from books - His Own, his friends, whom he met and lots of other trekker friends whom he lead for treks deep and high in the Himalayas. Having born and grown up in the lap of the Himalayas, playing with different elements of the Himalayas, its undoubtedly his best friend. Having said that, he is very biased, protective and caring of the Himalayas. Few of his friends say he is strict, in following rules and safety practices on a Himalayan trek. That's very true. It has come from the practical teachings by the Mighty Himalayas and he takes no chances, specially when he is leading a group.

He is the founder of Himalayan High and with it, his intentions are much bigger, wider and future thought, as a step to preach responsible trekking and make trekking sustainable, pass on this beautiful sport to the next generations. Learn more about Himalayan High on About Himalayan High
