Satopanth Expedition 2016

We are going to organize an expedition to Mount Satopanth (7075m), Garhwal Himalaya,India in 2016. Duration: 28 August, 2016 to 27 September, 2016. This will be our second expedition to Mount Satopanth after 2011. We have led and climbed other major peaks in the Gangotri glacier complex with safety and success in the recent past. They include Shivling, Janhukot, Srikailash, Bhagirathi, Thelu, Koteswar. It will not be entirely out of context if I mention that, we have been on other peaks of Indian Himalaya, such as Kamet, Trisul, and Nanda Devi East as well; just to  make a point that we know what we are doing. See link for a brief report on our success on Nanda Devi East: https://www.himalayanclub.org/news/nanda-devi-east-expedition-2014/ In Satopanth 2016, we offer base camp support only services. Full climbing support can be extended on request and terms and conditions will apply. Drop us an email for costs, info and joining instructions. Email to: adventuremania@...
