| About the project:.
Located at the gateway of the famous Gangotri Glacier complex,
Bhujbas is the perfect place for a Porter Shelter. Every year, apart
from hundreds of trekking and mountaineering teams going in to the
Gangotri glacier complex; thousands of pilgrims pass by Bhujbas on
their way to the Gomukh (the snout of Gangotri glacier, the source
of the holy river Ganga). After a carrying up a mountain of load
from Gangotri, or after a tricky day on the moraines of Gangotri
glacier, we want to offer warm shelter to our porter friends of
Garwal. In the Bhujbas Project, they will have a mattress to crash
and a blanket to keep them warm. Yes, it’s going to be very basic.
Basic, but clean and hygienic with first aid facilities. In Bhujbas
they do not even get these basic requirements. It’s been like this
since the early exploration days. And its time to do something about
it! And the time is NOW! In near future hopefully we will be able to
use the shelter as a rescue post as well. |
