Memory of Indian Himalayas : Ladakh Jammu & Kashmir

My first visit to Indian Himalayas was Jammu & Kashmir in 1970, I was then college student. We trekked to Amarnath, we had a plan to trek via Batal, Sonamargh. It required more preparation for security clearance. That I came to know after visiting the office of Indian Mountaineering Foundation, New Delhi, the office was located Defence Headquarter Area. The team had left Kolkata for Srinagar. We had to take pilgrimages route.

Next time in 1975  I went with an Japanese team, ( Japan Self Defence Force)  to climb Sickel Moon in Kishtwar region, as Indian Liaison Officer.  It was a virgin peak.In 1973 an attempt was made by a joint team of Indian Army & Japan Self Defence Force (JSDF)..We lost two lives during this expedition.

I was again back in 1979 for Indian Army, Regiment of Artillery  Pre Expedition to Kedernath Peak, it was held at High Altitude Ware fare School.(HAWS).

National Himalayan Mountain Biking Expedition Leh 2014

organising by Youth Hostel Association, New Delhi  National Adventure Programme in August -September 2014

I do remember my first cooking I did it at Youth Hostel at Messenjore, Birbhum, West Bengal, this hostel on the hill, by the road side  of water reservoir  on  the river Mayurakhi.. I liked the motto of Youth Hostel is Self Help. I learned how to cook, and clean the hostel where I stayed.



Questioners on Mountain Biking

Memories of Mountain Adventure with Indian Army

I joined the Indian Army as a Short Service Commissioned (Non Technical ) officer. I had the experience of NCC training in Junior & Senior Division, Army Wing. I did my Basic & Advance Mountaineering Courses through NCC. I have the experience of organising mountaineering club, training and expedition as an NCC Cadet. The expedition we had organised from this club to climb Central (20620 fts.) & Lion (20100 fts.) in Himachal Pradesh (HP), district Lahul & Spiti at  Barasigri glacier. We were the first Indian who climbed these peaks. NCC flag was the first time was hoisted on any peak, it was in June 1972. NCC was one of the sponsors of this expedition.

I joined the Indian Army with the hope that I can do mountaineering activities during my Army career. I was the Indian Liaison Officer with the USA team to Mulkila Six in HP & Japanese team to Sickle Moon in J&K. It took about four months for both expeditions. By then  I had only one-year seniority in Army. I was attached to Army HQ, MS (Coord) Br. We lost one Japanese  climber Lt Takachi, Deputy Leader of Japan Self Defence Force and one Sherpa from ITBP, Hav Ang Chotar from Darjeeling.

My first unit was 64 Fd Regt, it was then in peace location. I was keen to have the experience of life in Field condition, if possible in high altitude. On my request, I was posted to 90 Fd Regt. I served about 2 years. I got the chance to join Regt. of Arty Pre Expedition to Kedarnath Peak in 1979. This peak is located in Gangotri glacier, in Uttrakhand. We were advised to report High Altitude Warfare School. (HAWS). 

This School has a great role to promote mountaineering in India specially the Indian Everest Expeditions of 1960, under the leadership of Brig Gyan Singh, a Gunner Officer &  1962 under the leadership of Col John Dias. I had good contact with the Comdt of HAWS Col D N Tankha, a Sikh Officer, he was the leader of HAWS expedition to Sickle Moon of 1975. I mate him and the team members at Kishtwar, in J&K.

We assembled HAWS, most of us were not having snow clothing, it was arranged there. Comdt was Col Narendra Kumar,

 he was ex-The principal of HMI. I had helped Leader of the expedition for planning the identification of the resources, we approached Director Arty for procurement, mainly equipment, ration, communication, medical e.t.c.

We were two Officers from 90 Fd Regt another officer was Lt (1979) Mathew Varghese. He was very fit and tough for such a venture.

 We two Oiiicers  from the Pre Expedition team . left HAWS and moved to Arty Directorate for final preparation including press conference for this expedition under the arrangement of Directorate of Public Relations, MOD. Finally, the team left New Delhi for the expedition. By then the list for PRC of our course has been out. I was not selected. I took  the permission to return unit loc for final release from the Indian Army.

Finally, I left unit loc by train with lots of memories and satisfaction to sending another mountaineering expedition to Indian Himalayas from Regt of Arty. I still remember the send-off at unit NRS where the Officers, JCOs and Ors who were there with lots of affection and worries about my settlement in civil life. The packed food was so heavy it was difficult to do the justice to food by me.  I joined the first civil appointment after 26 days of leaving my unit loc. and when I was on leave pending release period. After joining the biggest Bank of India, it was 3 years after my release when I got married the unit was located next station. I have the privilege to receive unit Offices. & family members during the reception ceremony.
