Jalpaiguri,
Aug 1:Two young members of Jalpaiguri Nature and Trekker’s
Club (JNTC), Bhaskar Das and Sujoy Bhowmik, climbed to the summit
of Gangstang (6,162 mts) on July 29.
`Bad weather could not deter the enthusiasm of Bhaskar and
Sujoy, and they further set up two camps in higher altitudes before
reaching the summit. We received the news of their triumph at 11:20
am on July 29`, said Badal Debnath. He was one among the four
members from Keylong, a hill hamlet in Himachal Pradesh.
On July 15, led by Bhaskar Das, the four-member team started from
Jalpaiguri alongwith Pinaki Sengupta. Their destination was Gangstang,
a Himalayan peak located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh.
`We had less than one month to prepare for the expedition
because of late permission provided to us by the Indian Mountaineering
Foundation. But they have made us proud`, said Pinaki. |
