Event Description
11 women over the age of 50 recently journeyed from the Pongsau Pass in Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh. Walking mostly on foot in tough conditions, they covered over 4800 km and 35 high passes in 141 days. The expedition aims to address the mindset of our society and highlight the need to keep fit as well as demonstrate that age or gender is no barrier for a fit and healthy lifestyle. It will also signify women empowerment, leadership, decision making, lifestyle and the importance of fitness for our entire community. The members of this group come from all walks of life: home-makers, retired professionals and past summiteers of Mt Everest, ‘Everesters’ as they are called. 68 year old Vasumathi Srinivasan was a member of the team and will share her experiences of this epic journey. She will be in conversation with Sunil Chainani following which there will be a Q&A session with the audience.
