Diverse Group of Disabled Trekkers Conquers Himalayas
A group of nine disabled trekkers, including people who are visually impaired, amputees, and someone on the autism spectrum, went on an adventure to the Himalayas.
They trekked to a beautiful place called Dayara Bugyal, which is very high up in the mountains.
The trekkers held onto a rope to help them walk safely.
They played games and had fun together, even when the weather was bad.
The guides and buddies helped them feel comfortable and supported.
The trek was organized by groups that want to make adventure activities available to everyone, no matter their abilities.
The next trek is happening soon, and anyone can join, whether they have a disability or not.
Nine disabled trekkers, including six visually impaired, two amputees, and one on the autism spectrum, successfully completed a trek to Dayara Bugyal in the Garhwal Himalayas.
The trek was organized by v-shesh, Aquaterra Adventures, and Metores Trust to promote inclusion and adventure for people with disabilities.
The group used a rope with knots to help them navigate the terrain, and they played modified games like 'Mafia' and 'hand cricket' during the trek.
The trek started in Rishikesh and included stops at Barsu, Barnala, and Bakaria Top, with challenging weather conditions such as wind, lightning, heavy rain, and snow.
The next inclusive trek to Dayara Bugyal is scheduled for 17 June 2025, open to both people with disabilities and those who want to learn more about disability and mental health conditions.
