Footprints on the Mountainside

After countless requests by parents for camps they can send their children to, we have finally succumbed and have organized a children’s camp at Kanheri Caves this summer.

The dates are from the 25th to the 27th of April 2008 and the camp is for children from ages 10 years to 15 years.

In terms of activities, the usual suspects are available - rock climbing, rappelling, nature trails, star gazing, etc. I have uploaded an entry form with more information about the camp if you want to send your son/daughter, nephew/niece, kid brother/sister, etc.

The camp fees are Rs.2,250/- per child and there is no cut off date for admission. However, we have very limited seats - not more than 25 for sure, and the cut off in terms of availability is fast approaching. So, if you have a candidate, it would be in your best interests to hurry up with the submission of the entry.

Cheers!

I saw Charu sir on TV!!! He is on the Army escorted civilian team. The first goup of civilian trekkers on Siachen left on the 19th September as planned, even as we were wondering if Pakistan’s opposition would cause it to be canceled.

From next year, I bet we will be looking at the same rush of people heading to Siachen that once hit Ladakh and Spiti. I only hope that in that frozen environment, where not much is going to degrade, waste management policies are applied and enforced from the start, as with strict rules to prevent damage to the natural resources of the region.

Though, I guess anything will be better than war.
