Having climbed the 5,245 m high Kolhoi range in Himalayas and cycled 3,350 km to reach Karwar, five women from the State also kayaked 300 km of the Karnataka coastline to reach the Ullal coast in Mangaluru on Monday evening. With this, these members from different SC/ST hostels of the State successfully completed their 75-day long ‘Shikaradinda Sagara’ (from mountain ranges to sea) expedition.
“This expedition has given us varied experiences. From battling mountaineering sickness, to cycling in varied climatic conditions and overcoming sea sickness, we did it all. We really felt how overcoming difficulties brings joy,” said a beaming Puspha, from Madikeri.
Pushpa, Asha from Bengaluru, Bindu from Mysuru, and Aishwarya and Dhanalakshmi, both from Shivamogga, were part of the all terrain expedition jointly conducted by the Indian Mountaineering Association and Department of Youth Services and Sports’ General Thimmayya National Academy of Adventure. The Youth Services and Sports Minister K.C. Narayana Gowda flagged off the expedition on August 16.
