Army adventure team crosses Sachh Pass

Life in Armed Forces and spirit of adventure always go hand in hand. To commemorate the historic golden jubilee of Elite 18 and to instil the spirit of sportsmanship and adventure amongst troops, a composite team of adventurers undertook a ten days Cycling Expedition along the arduous route from Chamba to Tandi via Sachh Pass in Himachal Pradesh.

The expedition was conducted under 21 Sub Area with an aim to provide a wholesome outdoor exposure to the team, cycling in inhospitable terrain at an altitude of 14,500 feet. The expedition was led by Major Sonu Rai and the team covered a total distance of 322 Kms.

The expedition was flagged off from Pathankot on August 22 . The team moved through the hinterland of Chamba District, where they interacted with locals to understand their culture and met the veterans as part of the Army’s initiative to reach out to them and address their problems. The event successfully concluded on 01 September 2015 after the team reached Tandi in the Lahul and Spiti District.
