'Compliments to Mr. Rahul Gandhi- the trekker'....by KJS Chatrath

That is me in Antarctica a few months back

I am 75+. I have been an avid trekker in my days, infact till last year. Unfortunately I could not make a trip to Mansarover. Just bad luck.

Without bringing politics or religion into it, let me compliment Mr. Rahul Gandhi for trekking 34 kms in 14 hours in Mansarover area. I recall that a few year back he had trekked up to Kidarnath Shrine. I remember because I too had trekked up to Kidarnath shrine that  very year- but on different dates.

I do hope Mr. Gandhi's trek gives a fillip to adventure sports in India.
