Indian Navy organised an all women high altitude trek to Pindari Glacier from March 24th to April 2nd with an aim to introduce the women officers to the extreme adventure sport of mountaineering. The team led by Cdr Priya Khurana comprised 24 women officers. <br/><br/>The team had to face treacherous terrain of gravel and boulders and snow blocks thereby making personnel movement a difficult task. A total of six landslide zones were encountered enroute. The original trek route has been damaged in 2013 owing to natural calamity in Uttarakhand and hence the team opened an alternate route along the Pindari river to reach its destination.
