Jamshedpur, March 11: Five young adventure enthusiasts have conquered the famous Kedarkantha of Uttarakhand during an expedition from March 1 to 5. These children, along with the trekking team from the city, showed indomitable courage and skill in this expedition and scaled the peak of 12500 feet high.
The team included Yashika Agrawal, Navya Budhia, Jayawardhan Agrawal, Suchita Agrawal and Nitya Budhia. The kids underwent a strong test of courage during this expedition. Waking up at 3 am in the morning, crossing the snowy mountains, equipped with crampons and head torches, was a very tough test. The team consisted of a total of five children and this trekking expedition has taught them a lot at an early age. So much so that they are showing the urge to participate in such difficult campaigns ahead and to the extent of such impossible.
“I feel that both trekking and mountaineering are ideal and ultimate tests of human endurance. It is the best place to discover one-self and it removes the entire ego. It is only when one meets with challenges and critical situations that one will exercise their brains to their maximum and also exert them fully physically,” said a participant.
He said that such expeditions will help children on environmental studies. Moreover, camps like these also help in the over-all development of a child as it provides them a wider perspective of life which cannot be learnt in classrooms.
