Located in the North Eastern part of Himachal Pradesh, Spiti Valley,
at an altitude of 12000 feet above sea level is literally the land
between Tibet and India. The cold desert presents every possible
challenge one can imagine in such a landscape. The NGO’s team
reached the beautiful but forbidding location and installed the
equipment in schools that don’t see many facilities and have been
ravaged by last year’s floods as well.
Kinnaur, another wonderland known especially for its abundant and
high-quality apples is also located at 13000 feet and was yet
another location where our technical team managed to reach in our
endeavour to provide equipment to schools. In the absence of
vehicular traffic in the area, specially trained Sherpas, locally
known as pitthus (human beings who carry luggage on their backs),
had to be hired to carry the IFPs manually on their backs. A look at
some of the most adventurous moments of this initiative!
