Regards,
Nabanita

Mr. Sudev? I think I came to know about this person during our Dzongri trip. Somnath da, do you know if he is related to Alpine?

Hi Parijat,
Welcome to IndiaMike.
Hope you’ll find this community really helpful. There are so many threads in this Trekking & Mountaineering section for seasoned as well as beginners. Please read those threads specially Sandakphu / Falut threads. This trail is the most preferred trail to the beginners around West Bengal.

Parijat, (correct me if I am wrong) you are thinking about a trek organized by Indiamike or members of Kolkata or similar? If so, I just wanted to share a piece of info - IMers go together in different trips or we go for meetups but these all are individual efforts.

Hope, soon you’ll find your trek-mate / travel buddy from here but you’ll definitely find some useful information at any point of time – .

- Cheers.
